About the EXIF remover

Photos carry hidden metadata (EXIF) — GPS coordinates, camera model, and the date and time a photo was taken. This can reveal where you live or work. This tool strips that metadata by re-encoding the image, so you can share photos without leaking personal data. It runs locally with no upload.

Removing EXIF is especially important before posting photos publicly or sending them to people you don't fully trust. The visible image stays the same; only the hidden data is removed.

Frequently asked

Does removing EXIF change how the photo looks?
No — the visible image is unchanged. Only hidden metadata like GPS and camera info is removed.

Do social networks already strip EXIF?
Some do, some don't, and messaging apps often keep it. Removing it yourself is the only way to be sure.

What is EXIF data?

When a camera or phone takes a photo, it embeds hidden information called EXIF metadata: the exact GPS coordinates where the photo was taken, the device model, the date and time, and camera settings. When you share that photo online, anyone who downloads it can read this data — which can reveal your home address or daily routine.

How this tool removes it

This tool redraws your image onto a clean canvas and re-encodes it, which discards all embedded metadata while keeping the picture itself intact. Everything happens in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded. Download the cleaned copy and share it with confidence.
