Upload an image to remove its metadata.
The re-encoded file's raw data URL, in case you need it directly.

Guides
Photos taken on a phone or camera carry a surprising amount of hidden data: the exact GPS coordinates where the shot was taken, the camera make and model, the date and time, exposure settings, and sometimes more. This EXIF and metadata rides along invisibly inside the file — sharing the photo shares all of it too. This tool strips that embedded metadata from a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image before you post or send it, without changing how the picture looks.
How to use it
- Upload a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image.
- The cleaned image appears instantly, with a summary of what was removed.
- Copy the data URL or download the cleaned file.
What gets removed
- JPEG — EXIF data (camera make/model, GPS coordinates, date/time, exposure settings), embedded XMP data, Photoshop/IPTC metadata, and comment segments.
- PNG — text metadata chunks (
tEXt,zTXt,iTXt), theeXIfchunk, and the last-modified timestamp chunk. - WebP — the EXIF and XMP metadata chunks.
Color profiles and anything that affects how the image actually renders are left untouched — only metadata about the file is removed, not the picture itself.
Is the image quality affected?
No. Unlike stripping metadata by re-encoding an image through a canvas, this tool edits the file's metadata segments directly and copies the actual image data through byte-for-byte — so a JPEG doesn't get recompressed, and a PNG's pixels aren't touched. The output is pixel-for-pixel identical to the original, just without the metadata.
Is this private?
Yes. The file is read and processed entirely in your browser — it's never uploaded anywhere.
What if I just want to see what metadata a photo has, without removing it?
Use the Image Metadata Viewer to inspect a photo's EXIF data (camera, GPS, dimensions, and more) without changing the file.
