Remove Image Metadata (EXIF & GPS)
How to Remove Metadata from a Photo
Photos carry hidden EXIF metadata: camera model, settings, timestamps and often GPS location. Drop an image below to strip that data before you share it — all in your browser.

Steps to remove metadata

- The tool re-encodes the image, dropping EXIF, GPS and other metadata.
- Download the cleaned photo — the picture looks identical.
Why strip metadata before sharing
Metadata can reveal where and when a photo was taken and on what device — details you may not want public when posting online or sending a file. Removing it protects your privacy without changing how the image looks.
Because it runs locally, your photo and its data never leave your device.
Frequently asked questions
Does removing metadata change the image quality?
The visible picture is unchanged. Re-encoding drops the hidden data; keep quality high on export if you want a pixel-faithful result.
Does this remove GPS location too?
Yes — GPS coordinates are part of EXIF and are removed. If you specifically want to check and strip location, the Remove GPS Location tool focuses on that.
