Remove Image Metadata

Strip away hidden data from your photos to protect privacy. Every digital photo contains metadata—camera settings, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and more. This tool removes all embedded information before sharing.

Privacy implications of metadata

Photographs taken with modern devices embed precise location coordinates, device identifiers, and timestamps. Publishing photos with metadata online reveals where and when you were located. This information persists even after uploading to social media platforms that claim to strip EXIF data, since the original file still contains it.

Complete metadata removal

The tool removes all EXIF data, GPS coordinates, ICC color profiles, XMP metadata, and embedded comments. Re-encoding the image through the Canvas API effectively strips all hidden information while preserving visual quality.

Batch processing

Clean multiple images at once. Process an entire folder of vacation photos in one operation, then download them individually or bundled as a ZIP file. This efficiency matters when dealing with large photo collections.

Quality preservation

For JPEG files, control compression quality to balance file size and visual fidelity. PNG files preserve perfect quality. The tool intelligently handles different image formats.

When metadata removal matters

Share travel photos without revealing exact locations, post sensitive workplace photos without identifying details, prepare images for publication in privacy-conscious contexts, protect location privacy before uploading to untrusted platforms, and comply with privacy regulations when handling user-submitted images.
