Remove Image Metadata
Strip EXIF, GPS-bearing camera records, app notes, timestamps, and other shareable-image metadata from JPG, PNG, and WebP files locally. The image pixels are not decoded or recompressed.

- Choose one or more JPG, PNG, or WebP images. Local thumbnails make the selected files easy to verify.
- Each file is inspected and cleaned automatically without decoding or recompressing its pixels.
- Review the per-file removal report and before-and-after preview, then download each clean copy.
About image metadata removal
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. If orientation is required for correct display, a new minimal EXIF record keeps only that value.
Useful examples
- Remove GPS-bearing EXIF records before sharing a phone photo publicly.
- Strip editing-app and capture-time notes from images prepared for a client.
- Clean a batch of JPG, PNG, and WebP assets while preserving their compressed image data.
Does this upload my files?
No. Everything on this page runs locally in your browser, so your files are never uploaded to a conversion server. Close the tab and nothing is left behind.
After any required processing engine has loaded, repeated conversions can keep working offline. You can verify the claim with the site's reproducible browser privacy audit.
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. The compressed pixels are preserved without re-encoding. When an image needs EXIF orientation to display correctly, the tool rebuilds a minimal record containing only that safe orientation value.
Which formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported. Privacy-sensitive EXIF, XMP, IPTC, text, and timestamp records are removed; only a required orientation value may be retained.
