EXIF Remover
Image ToolsStrip EXIF metadata (location, camera, date) from a photo.
What is EXIF Remover?
EXIF Remover strips the hidden metadata that cameras and phones bake into your photos — GPS coordinates, the exact date and time, the camera or phone model, and its serial number. It works by decoding the image and re-encoding only the visible pixels onto a fresh canvas, which leaves every metadata tag behind. Because it all runs in your browser, the photo is never uploaded, so cleaning it up is genuinely private.
How to use EXIF Remover
Add your photo
Drag a JPEG, PNG, or WebP onto the drop zone, or click to browse. The image is decoded locally so its pixels can be re-encoded without the metadata.
Choose an output format
PNG gives a lossless, definitively metadata-free file. JPEG keeps it a smaller photo-style file with an adjustable quality slider. Either way, no EXIF is written to the result.
Preview the clean image
The picture looks identical because only the invisible metadata is removed — the visible pixels are untouched (aside from optional JPEG compression you control).
