EXIF details (click “View” in the file list to switch images)
No EXIF metadata detected
Upload a photo and instantly see its capture time, camera model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and the most easily overlooked piece of all — GPS location data. Before sharing to social media, marketplace listings, or anywhere else, strip the location data in one click, with batch mode letting you process multiple photos at once, each producing its own independent result.
Reading, parsing, and removing metadata all happen entirely in your browser — never through any server
Removes the metadata segment directly at the file byte level, without re-compressing the image — pixels and sharpness are completely unaffected
Select multiple photos at once, each parsed and cleared independently with no interference, and download them all
No sign-up, no payment, no hidden usage limits
Common Use Cases
It's not just about privacy — photography enthusiasts organizing their library or verifying a photo's source often need to check this data too.
Photos taken at home, at work, or anywhere you frequent can have GPS coordinates hidden in the file that, once shared to a secondhand marketplace or social media, could be extracted to pinpoint your exact location. Take a look after uploading before deciding whether to strip it.
Photography enthusiasts organizing their material often want to confirm what aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and focal length were used for a shot, or which camera and lens took it, to help review their shooting process.
Confirm whether a photo's actual capture time matches a claimed description, or check the “processing software” field to determine whether it's been edited by a retouching tool, helping verify the image's authenticity.
After a trip or gathering, you've got dozens of photos ready to send to friends or post online — upload the whole batch at once, strip all location and capture data uniformly, then download individually or as a package.
Data Categories
The privacy risk varies a lot by category — location data is the one that deserves the most attention.
| Category | Common Contents | Privacy Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Device info | Phone/camera brand and model, lens model, editing software name | Low — generally doesn't directly involve personal privacy |
| Capture parameters | Capture time, exposure time, aperture, ISO, focal length, orientation flag | Low, though a precise capture time can sometimes reveal travel patterns |
| Location (GPS) | Latitude/longitude coordinates, altitude, GPS timestamp | High — can directly reveal the capture location, sometimes precise enough to identify an address |
| Other info | Author/copyright credit, image description, and other custom fields | Depends on what was entered — usually filled in intentionally by the photographer |
After uploading, this tool automatically parses each photo and flags “Contains GPS location” in the file list — click “View” to expand the full category details. Removing metadata clears every category above at once; you can't selectively keep just one category.
How to Use
No software to install — everything happens right in the browser.
Click to select or drag your photos into the page — select multiple at once. Supports JPG, PNG, and WebP, up to 20MB each.
Each photo is automatically parsed after upload, with the file list flagging whether GPS location data is present. Click “View” to expand the full capture parameters, device info, and location coordinates.
Click “Remove all EXIF data” to precisely strip the capture and location metadata segments from every photo locally in your browser, with no re-compression — quality and pixels are completely unaffected.
Download individually or click download all to save every metadata-cleaned photo at once, ready to share with confidence.
Technical Notes
Using the browser's native capability to read file bytes, this tool locates the JPG's APP1 data segment, PNG's eXIf chunk, or WebP's EXIF block directly inside the image file and parses out the tag contents — the whole process never touches a server, and your original image only ever exists in your current device's memory.
Many “re-export the image” style tools happen to clear EXIF as a side effect, at the cost of decoding and re-compressing the whole image, which can hurt quality. This tool instead removes the EXIF/XMP metadata segments directly at the raw file byte level, leaving every other pixel untouched — so sharpness and existing compression level are completely unaffected, and the file size only shrinks by however much the metadata itself took up.
FAQ
EXIF is a block of metadata that cameras and phones automatically write into a photo file at capture time. It typically includes device info (brand, model, lens, processing software), capture parameters (time, exposure, aperture, ISO, focal length), and the most sensitive piece — GPS location (latitude/longitude coordinates, altitude). If a photo was taken somewhere private, like home or the office, sharing it with the location data intact lets anyone extract the exact spot it was taken, posing a real risk of exposing your address. This is the main reason we recommend stripping EXIF before sharing a photo.
No. This tool removes the EXIF/XMP metadata segments directly at the file's raw byte level, rather than decoding and re-compressing the whole image the way many “re-export” tools do. The pixel data doesn't move at all, so compression ratio and sharpness are completely unaffected — the file size only shrinks by however much the metadata itself took up (usually a few KB to a few dozen KB).
Currently JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported — the three formats most likely to carry EXIF/GPS data. iPhone's default HEIC format isn't directly parseable yet — convert HEIC to JPG with the “Convert Format” tool first, then upload here to view and remove it. GIF doesn't support storing EXIF metadata in the first place, so it isn't included.
Yes. During batch processing, each photo has its own EXIF data parsed and its own GPS detection performed independently. Clicking remove also produces an independent result file for each, with no interference between them — download individually, or click “Download all” to save the entire cleaned batch at once.
It's done entirely on your current device's browser. Uploaded photos are only read into your browser's memory for parsing and metadata removal — the whole process never uploads anything to a server, and the result is only ever saved to your own device.
Yes — clicking remove will simply produce a result that's essentially identical to the original file, with no error. Many photos that have already been through messaging apps, social media, or compression no longer contain any EXIF data — in that case, the detail panel will show “No removable metadata detected.”
The file format stays the same (JPG stays JPG, PNG stays PNG, WebP stays WebP). On download, a “-no-exif” suffix is automatically added to the original filename to distinguish it from the original — your local original file is never overwritten.
No sign-up, no waiting — viewing and removing both take just seconds.
