Digital photos can carry metadata next to the compressed image data. EXIF records may describe the camera or phone, capture settings, editing software, timestamps, and, when location tagging was enabled, GPS coordinates.
This tool removes privacy-sensitive metadata as a byte-level transform. JPG scan data, PNG IDAT chunks, and WebP image chunks are copied through unchanged, so the cleaned file keeps the original pixels instead of being re-encoded through a canvas.
FAQ
Are images uploaded to remove metadata?
No. The file is read locally in your browser, metadata records are removed from the bytes, and the cleaned copy is downloaded from a local blob URL.
What image metadata can reveal private information?
EXIF and similar records can include camera model, capture time, editing app details, and sometimes GPS location saved by a phone or camera.
Does removing metadata change image quality?
No. This tool removes metadata segments and chunks without decoding or re-encoding the pixels, so the compressed image data is preserved.
Which formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported. JPG APP1 and APP13 metadata is removed, PNG text, EXIF, and timestamp chunks are removed, and WebP EXIF and XMP chunks are removed.
