About EXIF Remover — Strip Photo Metadata Online

Every photo taken on a phone or camera carries hidden EXIF metadata: GPS coordinates of where it was shot, the exact date and time, your camera or phone model, and often more. Share the original file and you share all of that too. This EXIF remover strips photo metadata in your browser — select one or many JPG, PNG or WebP images, click once, and download clean copies with the location, camera and timestamp data gone.

The method is what makes it thorough. Instead of trying to find and delete individual metadata tags — where a missed tag means leaked data — the tool decodes each image to raw pixels and rebuilds a brand-new file from scratch. Metadata blocks are never copied into the output, so nothing embedded in the original can survive. You choose the output format (JPG, PNG or WebP) and a quality level from 50% to 100%; the default 92% is visually indistinguishable from the original for typical photos.

Everything happens on your device using the browser's canvas API. Your photos are never uploaded to a server, which matters when the whole point is privacy: it would be self-defeating to send a picture containing your home GPS coordinates to a stranger's server just to remove them. Batch processing means a folder of listing photos or blog images is cleaned in seconds, with each result downloadable individually.

Frequently asked questions

What metadata exactly does this tool remove?

All of it. Because the image is re-encoded from raw pixels rather than edited tag-by-tag, every embedded block is left behind: EXIF data (camera make and model, lens, exposure settings, capture date and time), GPS latitude and longitude, and other embedded metadata such as XMP or IPTC fields. The output file contains only pixel data — there are no tags left to inspect.

Does removing EXIF data reduce image quality?

The image is re-encoded at the quality you choose, so JPG and WebP output involves one round of compression — at the default 92% (or anything 90%+) the result is visually identical to the original for photos. If you need pixel-perfect output, choose PNG, which is lossless. Resolution is never changed: the clean copy keeps the exact original width and height.

Don't WhatsApp and Instagram already strip EXIF data?

Most large social platforms strip metadata when they compress your upload — but many everyday channels do not. Email attachments, cloud-drive links, marketplace listings, forum uploads and files sent as “documents” in messaging apps usually deliver the original file with GPS coordinates intact. Cleaning the photo before it leaves your device is the only way to be sure, whatever channel it travels through.

Can I remove metadata from multiple photos at once?

Yes. Select as many JPG, PNG or WebP files as you like in one go, click the strip button once, and each cleaned image appears in a grid ready to download. All processing runs locally in parallel, so a batch of photos takes only a few seconds.

Why does the tool convert my PNG or WebP when I pick JPG output?

The output format selector lets you standardise a mixed batch — for example, converting phone WebP screenshots and PNGs to JPG for a listing site. Transparent areas are filled with white when converting to JPG, since JPG has no transparency. If you want to keep the original format, just match the output setting to your files.
