How it works

Upload a JPEG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC image and the tool reads the file's embedded metadata — GPS coordinates, camera make and model, timestamps, software info, lens data, and more. GPS data is flagged in red so you can see exactly what location data the photo carries. Click the button to re-encode the image through an HTML5 Canvas, which produces a pixel-identical copy with zero metadata. The clean file downloads straight to your device.

When to use this

  • Selling something online. Product photos taken at home carry your GPS coordinates. Strip them before listing on marketplaces, forums, or classifieds.
  • Sharing photos in messages or email. iMessage, email, and WhatsApp document-mode preserve full EXIF data. Remove it before sending sensitive photos.
  • Posting to forums or blogs. Many platforms don't strip metadata on upload. Anyone who downloads your image can extract the full EXIF payload.
  • Protecting client or patient photos. If you handle images on behalf of others, stripping metadata before storage or transfer is a basic privacy step.

Common mistakes

  • Thinking social media is always safe. Instagram and Facebook strip EXIF on upload, but many other platforms — forums, CMSes, cloud links, marketplace listings — do not.
  • Slight quality change for JPEGs. Re-encoding a JPEG at 92% quality is visually identical but not byte-identical. If you need lossless output, use PNG.
  • Color profile removal. Stripping metadata also removes the embedded ICC color profile. For casual sharing this is invisible; for print-critical work, keep your original.
