How to remove EXIF data
- Add your photos. Drop one or more images onto the tool or browse for them.
- Review what's embedded. See the metadata found in each file, including any location tags.
- Strip the metadata. Remove the EXIF and other embedded tags locally, keeping the visible image intact.
- Download. Save the cleaned photos, ready to share without hidden data.
Every photo from a phone or camera carries a hidden EXIF block, and the riskiest field is GPS — post a picture from home and you may be publishing your address. Camera model and timestamps add up to a surprising amount of personal context too.
This tool shows what is embedded and removes it while leaving the image itself untouched, so the file you share looks the same but no longer leaks where and when it was taken. Doing it on-device means the original never passes through anyone else's server on the way.
To also shrink the file before sharing, run it through Compress, and to change its dimensions or format, use Resize & convert.
Frequently asked questions
What does EXIF data reveal?
Often your GPS location, the exact date and time, the camera or phone model, and its settings — details you rarely want to publish with a photo.
Does removing EXIF change the picture?
No. Only the metadata is stripped; the visible pixels are untouched, so the photo looks identical.
Do social networks already strip this?
Some do, some don't, and not for every field — removing it yourself first guarantees the location and camera data are gone before upload.
Are my photos uploaded to scrub them?
No. Metadata is read and removed in your browser tab; the images never leave your device.
