Remove EXIF Data & Photo Metadata Online
Use this online EXIF remover to inspect and clean hidden photo metadata before sharing a JPG, PNG, or WebP image. It can show camera model, capture time, GPS coordinates, lens, exposure, software, and other readable fields.
Choose an image to view its EXIF data and receive a location warning when GPS fields are present. Click Remove Metadata to create a separate clean copy, then rescan it and verify the readable field count before downloading.
This photo metadata remover runs entirely in your browser and does not modify the original file. The clean image keeps the original pixel dimensions; JPG and WebP may be re-encoded with a small visual difference, while PNG uses lossless encoding.
What Metadata Can Be Removed?
Photos can contain hidden metadata that is not visible in the image itself. Depending on the photo and file format, the tool can clean detected privacy fields such as:
- GPS Location: latitude, longitude, altitude, and GPS timestamp.
- Camera & Device: camera manufacturer, camera model, lens model, and device information.
- Date & Time: date taken, date modified, and date digitized.
- Camera Settings: ISO, exposure, aperture, focal length, and flash.
- Software: editing software, image processing applications, and other readable fields.
Why Remove EXIF Data From Photos?
A photo can contain more information than the pixels you see. EXIF metadata may include where and when a picture was taken, what device captured it, and which software was used to edit it. Removing unnecessary metadata before sharing can reduce accidental exposure of personal information, especially GPS location and device details.
- Remove EXIF before posting photos on social media, forums, or blogs.
- Remove GPS before sharing travel photos or sending client photos.
- Remove camera information before uploading marketplace listings or sending photos to strangers.
FAQ
Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP image, review the scanned metadata, and select Remove Metadata. The tool creates a new copy, rescans it, shows the verification result, and lets you download it.
It can. Some cameras and phones save GPS latitude, longitude, altitude, or GPS time in a photo. When location fields are detected, the tool displays a warning before removal.
If GPS coordinates are embedded, EXIF can reveal the place where the photo was taken. Remove location data from a photo before sharing it to reduce that privacy risk.
The clean image keeps the original pixel dimensions. JPG and WebP are re-encoded in the browser and may differ slightly, while PNG uses lossless encoding.
No. Reading, redrawing, rescanning, and downloading happen locally in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device.
