Delete GPS location, date taken and camera model from photos in one go. No re-encoding, so quality stays untouched, and your photos never leave your browser.
Your input stays in your browser and is never sent.
What the photo metadata remover does: GPS, date taken, camera model
Photos taken on a phone or camera carry more than the picture: the GPS coordinates of the place, the date and time, and the camera make, model and lens. This tool strips that information out and leaves the picture alone.
You see what was there. A photo taken at home often holds coordinates within a few metres of your front door, so the tool shows the values it removed rather than deleting them silently.
JPG (JPEG), PNG and WebP are supported. The iPhone HEIC format is out of scope, so convert it to JPG with the HEIC converter first.
How to strip EXIF data from a photo
- ChooseDrop the photos you want cleaned into the "Drop photos here, or click to choose" area. JPG, PNG and WebP can be mixed in one batch. Metadata is removed as soon as you add them, and each photo lists the location, date taken, camera and lens it was carrying.
- SaveDownload them one by one or as a single ZIP. Filenames get a -noexif suffix so they never overwrite the originals.
What EXIF keeps inside a photo and why it matters
EXIF is a compartment inside the file, separate from the image itself. Location lives in its GPS block as degrees, minutes and seconds. Printed to six decimal places that is accurate to within a metre, which is enough to pin down where the shot was taken.
Most social networks drop EXIF when you post, but files sent straight over email or chat, listing photos on marketplaces, and folders shared in cloud storage keep it. Removing it from the file itself is the reliable way.
Keep full quality: no re-encoding, only metadata removed
Tools that open an image, redraw it and save it again put JPG through another round of compression, and quality drops every time. This tool cuts out only the parts of the file that hold metadata and joins the rest back together, so the pixel data is never touched.
The ICC colour profile stays. Removing it would change how the photo looks. What goes is EXIF, XMP, IPTC, comments and PNG text blocks, which makes the file slightly smaller than the original.
Remove metadata from many photos at once and download a ZIP
There is no cap on how many photos you add. Drop in a few hundred from a trip and they are processed one after another in the browser, with results appearing as each one finishes.
A corrupted file in the middle does not stop the batch. It is flagged on its own row while the rest run to the end. There is no sign-up, no login and no usage limit, so you can come back as often as you like.
When you want photo metadata gone: social posts, listings, sharing
- Before posting a photo taken at home
- Indoor shots carry coordinates that land on your own address. Clearing them removes the path from a picture back to where you live.
- Marketplace listings shot at home
- Product photos taken indoors can go live with the location still attached. Strip it before listing and buyers never see it.
- Files going to clients and partners
- The capture time and camera model say when a shot was taken and on what. Both are worth removing from anything leaving the company.
- Photos of children shared beyond the family
- Pictures from school or the park hold the place and the time. The wider the circle you share with, the more it pays to clear them first.
Photo metadata remover: common questions
- Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
- No. The image is not re-encoded. Only the sections of the file that carry EXIF and other metadata are dropped, so the pixel data stays byte for byte identical.
- Are my photos uploaded to a server?
- No. Everything happens inside your browser, and your photos never leave your device.
- Can I see what was stored in the photo?
- Yes. After processing, the tool lists the location (GPS coordinates), date taken, camera and lens it removed.
- Does it work with iPhone and Android photos?
- JPG, PNG and WebP work as they are. The iPhone HEIC format is out of scope here, so convert it to JPG with the HEIC converter first.
- Can I process several photos at once?
- Yes. There is no limit on how many you add, and you can download the results as a single ZIP. If one file is corrupted, the rest still finish.
- Is there a usage limit?
- No. Privacy protection only helps if you can use it whenever you need to, so there is no sign-up, no login and no usage limit.
