Remove Image Metadata

Strip EXIF and other hidden data from a photo by re-encoding it in your browser. The picture stays the same; the camera, date and location details do not.

JPG, PNG or WebP. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Your images stay private

The photo is decoded and re-encoded entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to ToolToUse or any server.

Why remove image metadata?

Photos taken on a phone or camera often carry the device model, the exact time, the software used and sometimes GPS coordinates. Posting such a file can reveal more than you intend. Re-encoding the picture writes a brand new file containing only pixels.

What changes and what does not

The visible picture and its pixel dimensions stay the same.
EXIF, comments and embedded colour profiles are dropped.
JPG and WebP are re-compressed, so the file size changes — usually downwards. Choose a high quality value if the photo matters.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. The file is read, redrawn and saved inside your browser, so it never leaves your device.

Does this reduce image quality?

JPG and WebP are re-compressed, so there is a small quality change at low quality settings. Choose PNG or a high quality value to keep the picture as close to the original as possible.

How do I know the metadata is gone?

The result panel reads the cleaned file back and reports how many metadata fields remain — it should be zero.

Does it remove GPS location too?

Yes. The whole EXIF block, including any location, is discarded because the new file is built from the decoded pixels only.
