Remove image metadata

Create a clean copy without supported EXIF and location metadata, entirely in your browser.

What this tool does

Create a clean copy without supported EXIF and location metadata, entirely in your browser.

Practical guidance

Inspect the visible EXIF fields before cleaning, especially GPS coordinates, capture time, camera model, and editing software. Keep the untouched original if you may need provenance or camera settings later.

Three simple steps

  1. Add one or more images.
  2. Review which metadata categories will be removed.
  3. Create and download clean copies.

Frequently asked questions

Which metadata can be removed?

Re-encoding removes common EXIF fields such as camera details, timestamps, and GPS data when present.

Does this prove all hidden data is gone?

No format-independent tool can guarantee that for every file. Verify highly sensitive files with a specialist inspector.

Concrete input and output example

Input a phone JPEG that shows GPS coordinates, capture time, and device model in the inspection panel. The cleaned download keeps visible pixels but omits the removable metadata; verify again before sharing.

Browser compatibility notes

Reviewed against the implementation and required web APIs on 2026-08-12. Use a current browser where these APIs are available and verify important output on your device.

Chrome / Edge (current desktop)
Requires local decode, canvas, encoding, Blob download, and enough memory; verify the downloaded image.
Firefox (current desktop)
Uses the same standard local APIs; color rendering can differ slightly from Chromium.
Safari (current desktop)
Uses canvas and Blob downloads; available memory and codec behavior remain WebKit-controlled.

A tool-specific question

Does metadata removal blur or resize the image?

The workflow targets removable metadata, but the exported image may be newly encoded. Compare pixels and keep the original when archival fidelity matters.
