What is the Remove EXIF Metadata?
Photos from phones and cameras carry hidden EXIF metadata: GPS coordinates, the date and time, device model and sometimes your name. This tool shows what’s inside and removes it. JPEG and PNG files are cleaned losslessly — pixels are untouched — and you can keep the colour profile so colours stay accurate.
Images are converted inside your browser — nothing is uploaded, so it works for private photos and client work.
How to use the Remove EXIF Metadata
- Drop your photos.
- Review the metadata found (location, camera, dates).
- Keep or remove the ICC colour profile.
- Download the clean images.

Frequently asked questions
Do social networks remove EXIF?
Facebook and Instagram strip most EXIF from public images, but email, messaging apps, forums and file sharing often keep it.
Does removing EXIF reduce quality?
No — for JPEG and PNG only the metadata blocks are removed; image data is copied byte for byte.
