Image Metadata Remover

See exactly what's hiding inside an image, then remove what you choose — GPS location, camera make and model, timestamps, edit history, and AI-generation data such as Content Credentials (C2PA) and Stable Diffusion parameters. Removal is lossless: metadata blocks are cut out of the file byte-for-byte while your pixels stay untouched. Everything runs in your browser — the photo never leaves your device.

Strip GPS location, camera model, and timestamps before sharing photos online

How it works

  • Drop a JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF image with embedded metadata (EXIF, GPS, camera data)
  • Metadata blocks are cut out of the file byte-for-byte — your pixels are never re-encoded (formats we can't rewrite in place fall back to a clean PNG re-export)
  • Download the stripped image — same pixels, no location or device information

Frequently asked questions

What metadata is removed?

All EXIF data including GPS coordinates, camera make and model, lens info, date/time, software, and copyright strings. ICC colour profiles are retained so colours look the same.

Does removing metadata change the file size?

Slightly. EXIF data is typically 5–50 kB, so the output is a little smaller. The pixel content and quality are unchanged.

Why should I remove metadata before sharing photos online?

Photos taken on a phone embed GPS coordinates that reveal exactly where the photo was taken. Other EXIF fields reveal what device you used and when. Stripping before sharing protects your privacy and location.

Privacy note: GPS coordinates embedded in phone photos can reveal your exact home address when shared online. Always strip metadata before posting personal photos to social media or selling products online.

Share-safe images

Remove hidden context while keeping the visible photograph

A clean browser re-export drops EXIF, GPS, camera, and timestamp fields that can travel with an otherwise ordinary image.

Pixels only

Clean export goal

01

Location stripped

Embedded GPS coordinates are not copied into the new output.

02

Camera details stripped

Device, lens, exposure, and software tags are removed with the old container metadata.

03

Visible result preview

Confirm the new image before sharing or opening it in another tool.

Know before you process: Visible text, watermarks, reflections, and location clues inside the pixels are not metadata and must be edited separately.
