🕵️ EXIF Remover

EXIF / Metadata Remover

🔒 Your image never leaves your device. All processing happens locally in your browser using Canvas redraw (strips all metadata). No upload, no server, no tracking.

Features

  • Strip All Metadata — Remove GPS location, camera model, lens info, timestamps, and all other EXIF data from your images.
  • Remove GPS Location — Many photos contain your exact GPS coordinates. Stripping EXIF removes this before sharing.
  • Metadata Viewer — See what metadata your image contains before it's removed — know what you're protecting.
  • Privacy First — The image is redrawn through Canvas, which inherently strips all metadata. Even the tool itself can't keep your data.

How It Works

  1. Upload your image — Drop any photo — especially JPEG from phone cameras which contain the most metadata.
  2. Review metadata — See what information was embedded in your file: location, camera model, timestamps.
  3. Download clean image — Get a clean copy with ALL metadata stripped. Safe to share publicly.

Use Cases

  • Remove GPS coordinates before sharing photos publicly
  • Strip camera and lens info from professional work
  • Remove creation timestamps from sensitive images
  • Protect privacy when posting to forums or classifieds
  • Clean images before sending to unknown recipients

Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata is removed?

Everything: GPS coordinates, camera make/model, lens info, exposure settings, creation/modification dates, software info, thumbnail cache, and any custom EXIF fields.

How does it work technically?

The image is drawn onto an HTML Canvas element and re-exported as a new file. Canvas output contains zero metadata by specification — it's a clean slate.

Does this reduce image quality?

For JPEG, there's a tiny quality reduction due to re-encoding (we use 95% quality). For PNG, it's completely lossless.

Why should I care about EXIF data?

Photos from smartphones typically contain your exact GPS location, device name, and timestamps. This information can be used to track where you live, work, and travel. Always strip EXIF before sharing photos with strangers.
