How to remove EXIF data from photos

Select Choose files or drop your photos on the page.
Check what each photo contains. The location comes first, as text coordinates; select the eye button next to a photo to see its details.
Choose What to remove, then select Remove metadata.
Download each cleaned photo, or all of them as one ZIP file.

What gets removed

Photos carry details you can’t see: the GPS position where they were taken, the date and time, the phone or camera model and sometimes its serial number, the editing software, and comments or captions. Sharing the original file shares all of it. This tool removes those blocks from the file and copies the image data byte for byte, so the photo looks exactly the same and loses no quality.

JPG: EXIF (with GPS), XMP, IPTC, comments, embedded thumbnails, camera-specific blocks and any data stored after the end of the image.
PNG: eXIf and text chunks (tEXt, iTXt, zTXt) and the last-modified time.
WebP: The EXIF and XMP chunks.
Kept: The color profile and the image data, so colors and sharpness don’t change.
Orientation: Kept by default, so photos taken sideways still appear the right way up. “Everything, including orientation” drops it too: sideways photos are then saved again, upright, at quality 95 (JPG and WebP) or losslessly (PNG), with no metadata at all; other photos are cleaned without re-saving.

Formats and limits

Input: JPG, PNG and WebP photos. HEIC is not supported yet.
Size: Up to 100 MB per photo and 50 photos at a time. Photos over 120 megapixels (50 on phones and tablets) can’t be added.
Output: Same format and name with -no-metadata added, e.g. IMG_1234-no-metadata.jpg; several photos also as one ZIP, photos-no-metadata.zip.

Troubleshooting

“… is a HEIC image.” Convert it to JPG first with Convert Image, or set your iPhone to save photos as JPG (Settings › Camera › Formats › Most Compatible).
“… couldn’t be read. It may be damaged or incomplete.” The file’s structure is broken, for example from an interrupted download. Open it in an image viewer and save it again, then try that copy.
The photo still shows a location in my gallery app. Some apps keep their own record of where a photo was taken. The downloaded file itself no longer contains it; check it again here to be sure.

How your data stays private

Everything happens in your browser, on your device. Your files and text are never uploaded, never stored, and never put in the address bar.

The site’s security policy (connect-src 'self') tells your browser to block any attempt by the page to send data to another server.
Only your preferences, such as the theme and a tool’s last-used options, are saved in your browser’s local storage. Never your content.
To check it yourself, open your browser’s developer tools, select the Network tab, and use the tool: no request carries your data.

There is no account, no sign-up and no watermark. After your first visit, pages open without a connection; a tool’s larger parts, such as the PDF and image engines, are saved the first time you use it, so it works offline from then on.

Frequently asked questions

What is EXIF data?

Details your camera or phone saves inside the photo file: often the GPS location where it was taken, the date and time, the camera or phone model (sometimes its serial number) and the editing software. Anyone who gets the original file can read them.

How do I check what EXIF data a photo has?

Drop the photo on this page. Before anything is removed, you see what it contains, grouped as location, camera and device, date and time, software and other details. The location is shown as text coordinates; no map is loaded.

Does removing EXIF reduce quality?

No. Only the metadata is removed; the image data is copied byte for byte, so the photo is exactly as sharp as before. The one exception is the optional “Everything, including orientation” mode on a photo taken sideways: it is saved again once, at high quality, so it stays upright without its orientation tag.

How do I remove the location from a photo on iPhone or Android?

Open this page in your phone’s browser, tap Choose files and pick the photos. Tap Remove metadata, then download the cleaned copies. This tool reads JPG, PNG and WebP; iPhones often save HEIC, so convert those to JPG first with Convert Image, or choose Most Compatible in Settings › Camera › Formats for new photos.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The photos are read and cleaned in your browser, on your device. Nothing is uploaded or stored, and the site’s security policy blocks the page from sending data to other servers.
