What is EXIF Data?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in photos by cameras and smartphones. It includes information like GPS coordinates, camera model, lens settings, date/time taken, and sometimes even your device's serial number. While useful for photographers, this data can compromise your privacy when sharing images online.

How to Remove EXIF Metadata

Upload your photo to instantly detect and strip all metadata. Our tool processes images entirely in your browser - your photos are never uploaded to any server. The cleaned image contains only pixel data with all EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and other metadata completely removed. Download as PNG for lossless quality or JPG/WebP for smaller files.

Why Remove Photo Metadata?

GPS coordinates in photos can reveal your home address, workplace, or travel patterns. Camera serial numbers can be traced back to you. Timestamps show exactly when photos were taken. Before sharing images on social media, forums, or selling photos online, removing metadata protects your privacy and security.

What Metadata Gets Removed?

This tool removes all embedded metadata including: GPS location coordinates, camera make and model, lens information, exposure settings (ISO, aperture, shutter speed), date and time stamps, software used, copyright information, thumbnail images, and any custom tags. The result is a clean image file with only the visible pixels.

Privacy-First Processing

Your images never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your web browser using HTML5 Canvas technology. We don't store, transmit, or have access to your photos. This client-side approach ensures complete privacy - perfect for sensitive personal photos or confidential business images.
