Remove EXIF Metadata

Photos taken with smartphones often embed exact GPS coordinates and device information. Removing this metadata prevents others from finding out exactly where and when a photo was taken, protecting your privacy when sharing images online.

No. This EXIF Remover runs entirely in your web browser using HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript. Your photos never leave your device, ensuring 100% complete privacy.

Granular removal allows you to specifically select what data to remove (e.g., delete GPS but keep the Date) - this is currently supported only for JPEG images. For PNG and WebP, the tool performs a Total Clean, stripping all metadata by rebuilding the image.

No. Granular EXIF removal (on JPEGs) only deletes the text metadata hidden in the file header. The actual image pixels are completely untouched, resulting in a 100% lossless process.

No. Once you use our tool to strip the metadata and save the new file, that information is permanently deleted from the new file. Always keep your original backups!

PNG files structure metadata differently (using chunks rather than EXIF headers). Our tool performs a total clean on PNGs by completely redrawing the image onto a blank canvas, ensuring absolutely no hidden data survives.

Yes, professional photographers often scrub EXIF data to hide their specific camera settings, editing software versions, and proprietary workflow secrets.

Slightly. Metadata usually only accounts for a few kilobytes (KB). Removing it will not significantly reduce a multi-megabyte image file.

Our tool assigns a privacy score based on the sensitivity of the detected data. GPS coordinates are deemed high-risk, while camera models are low-risk. A 100% score means the image is completely clean.

The only limit is your device\'s processing power. You can drag and drop dozens of photos at once, and our client-side script will clean them sequentially.
