Photos carry hidden metadata — where they were taken, on what camera, and when. This tool strips every EXIF, XMP, and IPTC tag by re-drawing the image from its raw pixels, so you can share a clean copy without leaking your location or gear. Nothing is uploaded.

Why remove EXIF data
The metadata in a photo can reveal more than you intend.
- Location privacy. Phone photos often embed GPS coordinates. Stripping them stops a shared image from pinning your home, workplace, or daily routine.
- Less fingerprinting. Camera serial numbers, lens models, and software versions can tie separate photos back to the same device.
- Smaller, cleaner files. Dropping metadata and re-encoding usually trims a little size and gives you a tidy copy for uploads.
A note on social platforms
Many social networks strip EXIF on upload, but not all do, and some keep it in downloadable originals. Cleaning the file yourself first means you never have to rely on a platform getting it right.
Frequently asked
What metadata does this remove?
Everything embedded in the file outside the pixels: EXIF (GPS coordinates, camera and lens model, exposure settings, date and time taken), XMP and IPTC tags, and any editing-software notes. The image is re-drawn from raw pixels, so none of it survives.
Will the photo still look the same?
Yes. The visible image is unchanged, and any orientation tag is baked into the pixels so the photo stays the right way up. JPG and WebP are re-encoded at the quality you choose; PNG output is lossless.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole process runs in your browser through the canvas API. Your photo, its metadata, and the cleaned copy never leave your device.
