Remove EXIF data online

Strip location and camera metadata from images before you share. Download a cleaned file.

What is EXIF Data Removal?

EXIF can include GPS, camera model, and timestamps. Before posting a personal photo, strip that metadata. This tool rewrites the image without those tags so shares stay lighter on private detail.

EXIF Remover Features

Complete metadata stripping for privacy protection.

  • Strip All Metadata

    Removes camera info, GPS location, timestamps, device model, software details, and all other embedded EXIF data from your images.

  • Multiple Output Formats

    Download clean images as PNG (lossless, preserves transparency), JPEG (smallest file size), or WebP (modern compression).

  • Batch Processing

    Process multiple images at once. Upload a batch and strip metadata from all of them simultaneously with no limits.

  • Zero Quality Loss

    EXIF removal only strips metadata. The visual image quality is preserved — pixels are rendered identically to the original.

  • JPEG Transparency Handling

    When converting to JPEG, transparent areas are automatically filled with white since JPEG does not support alpha channels.

  • Privacy First

    100% client-side processing. Your images never leave your device — no uploads, no servers, no tracking.

How to Remove EXIF Data from Images

Three simple steps to strip metadata from your photos.

  1. 1. Upload Your Image

    Drag and drop a photo into the tool, click to browse, or paste from clipboard with Ctrl+V. JPG, PNG, WebP, and more supported.

  2. 2. Choose Output Format

    Select your preferred output: PNG for lossless quality, JPEG for smaller file size, or WebP for modern web optimization.

  3. 3. Download Without Metadata

    Click Download to save your clean image. All EXIF, GPS, camera, and timestamp data has been completely removed.

Tips for Removing EXIF Data

Best practices for protecting your privacy.
  • 01

    Always Remove Before Posting

    Make it a habit. Before uploading any personal photo to social media, forums, or public websites, strip the EXIF data first.

  • 02

    Use JPEG for Smaller Files

    Choose JPEG output if you want the smallest file size for web sharing. The metadata is still fully removed.

  • 03

    Use PNG for Lossless Quality

    Choose PNG output if you need lossless quality or transparency. Ideal for logos, graphics, and screenshots.

  • 04

    Check EXIF Before Removing

    Use /view-metadata to see what data your image contains before stripping it. You might be surprised how much information is embedded.

  • 05

    Process in Batches

    If you have multiple photos to share, upload them all at once. The tool processes them simultaneously to save time.

  • 06

    Be Careful with Screenshots

    Screenshots can also contain metadata (screen resolution, timestamp, OS info). Strip them too before sharing.

Technical Details

How EXIF removal works under the hood.
Canvas Re-Encoding
The source image is drawn onto a fresh HTML Canvas element. When the canvas exports to a new file, all original metadata is discarded — only pixel data survives.
Client-Side Processing
All processing runs locally in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. No image data is ever transmitted over the network.
JPEG Alpha Handling
Since JPEG does not support transparency, any transparent pixels are automatically filled with white before JPEG encoding.
Image Encoding
Output uses canvas.toBlob() with format-specific quality settings. JPEG at 92% quality, WebP and PNG use default browser encoding.
Resolution Preservation
Output dimensions match the original image exactly. No resizing or cropping occurs — only metadata is affected.
Supported Input Types
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, HEIC up to 15 MB. Any format the browser can decode is supported.
