EXIF Metadata Remover
Create a clean copy of a JPG, PNG, or WebP image without embedded camera, location, and editing metadata.
What problem does this metadata remover solve?
Photos may contain hidden camera information, capture time, GPS location, editing software, comments, and embedded thumbnails. This tool creates a newly encoded image copy that normally excludes common EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata.
How to remove image metadata
- Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP image.
- Select the output format and quality.
- Create the clean copy in your browser.
- Download it under a new filename.
- Check visible content and use a specialist inspector for high-risk files.
Privacy, formats, and limits
- Upload: The image is processed locally and is not uploaded.
- Input: JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP supported by the browser.
- Output: JPG, PNG, or WebP.
- Size: Device memory is the practical limit.
- This does not redact faces, licence plates, documents, reflections, addresses, or other information visible in the pixels.
Example
Before posting a phone photo publicly, create a clean JPG copy. Common GPS and camera metadata should be left behind, but any street sign or address visible in the picture remains visible.
Frequently asked questions
Does this remove GPS data?
Re-encoding normally removes common GPS EXIF fields. For sensitive, legal, medical, or regulated material, verify the downloaded file with dedicated metadata software.
Does it blur private information?
No. It removes hidden metadata, not visible content.
Will the image quality change?
JPG and WebP are re-encoded and may change slightly. PNG is saved losslessly but the file size may change.
