JPG shows full metadata · other formats can still be cleaned

How to use

  1. Drop a photo to inspect the metadata table and any GPS warning.
  2. Review the fields you do not want to share, especially location and timestamps.
  3. Select Download clean copy to save a metadata-free version.

Before you share

Keep the original if you may need its capture details later, and send the clean copy instead. Check every file separately: a message thread or cloud link can preserve metadata even when a social network usually removes it.

What gets removed

Camera make and model, capture time, software, lens data, and — most importantly — GPS coordinates. For JPEGs the metadata segments are cut out of the file directly, so the image pixels are untouched and quality is byte-identical. Other formats are re-drawn onto a clean canvas and saved as lossless PNG.

Why this matters more than you think

A photo taken at home and posted online can carry your home address in its EXIF block. Most big social networks strip metadata on upload, but email, messengers, cloud drives and your own website usually do not. Because this tool runs entirely in your browser, checking a sensitive photo here does not create yet another copy on someone’s server. More in the guide: what your photos reveal about you.

Frequently asked questions

Does removing EXIF reduce photo quality?
For JPEGs, zero: the metadata segments are snipped out of the file without re-encoding, so the image data is byte-for-byte identical — the file just gets smaller. PNG/WebP files are re-drawn losslessly onto a clean canvas instead.
Isn’t uploading my photo to an EXIF remover a privacy risk in itself?
With most online tools, yes — that is the irony of the category. This one parses the file inside your browser; nothing is transmitted. Turn off your internet connection and it still works.
Do Instagram and Facebook already strip EXIF?
For the copies other people see, generally yes. But email attachments, most messengers’ “send as file” option, cloud drive links and your own website keep metadata intact — those are the paths that leak.
Which metadata can this tool show me?
Camera make/model, orientation, software, capture and modification times, exposure, f-number, ISO, focal length, lens model, pixel dimensions, and GPS coordinates (with a red warning when present).
