Read the EXIF block in a JPG, PNG or WebP photo, see where it was taken, and strip the metadata without re-encoding the pixels.
Reading and stripping happen in this tab. Nothing is uploaded.
JPEG, PNG and WebP can be rewritten without re-encoding, so the pixels stay byte-for-byte identical. HEIC, TIFF and RAW are not supported because removing their metadata safely needs a different container rewrite.
Choose a photo to see what it carries.
Camera, date, GPS and software tags appear here when the file has them.
Your file is never sent to a server. It is read and processed by your own browser, and the results are not stored.
A camera writes a block of tags beside the image: make and model, lens, exposure, the date and time, the software that last saved it, and often the GPS coordinates with altitude and direction. Social networks and messaging apps vary in what they keep, so a file that looks clean can still carry the original location.
The removal here is lossless. The tool finds the metadata segments in the container, drops them, and copies the rest of the file byte for byte. The image is not decoded and re-encoded, so there is no generation loss and no change to the picture.
Removed: EXIF APP1, XMP, IPTC, Photoshop image resource blocks and JPEG comment segments. In PNG, text chunks that carry descriptive metadata are removed where the container allows it.
Kept: the JFIF density header, the ICC colour profile and the structural markers a decoder needs. Those describe display and colour, not identity. A colour profile can still hint at a device family, so it is named in the result rather than silently called harmless.
No. Remove EXIF Data from Photo runs in your browser, and the file is read there rather than sent to a server for processing. Our host still sees ordinary page-request metadata, which is described on the privacy page.
Yes, Remove EXIF Data from Photo is free, with no paid tier, no account, and no watermark added to your output. The limits are technical rather than commercial: file size, page count and supported formats are listed on this page.
Remove EXIF Data from Photo supports .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .webp files up to 25MB directly in your browser.
No. The JPEG, PNG and WebP files are rewritten at the container level: metadata segments are dropped and every remaining byte, including the compressed pixel data, is copied through unchanged. The picture is the same file size minus the metadata.
Yes. The file is read first with a local EXIF parser and any camera, date, software and GPS tags are listed. If a GPS block is found, the page warns you before the strip step so you can see exactly what is at risk.
No. The ICC colour profile and the JFIF density header are kept deliberately: they describe how to display the picture, not who took it or where. A colour profile can still identify a device family, so delete it with a different tool if that matters.
