Remove photo metadata, right in your browser.
Strip the location, camera details and other hidden data from your photos before you share them. The image itself isn't re-saved, so quality stays exactly the same.
Try it offline
- Open this page once and wait until it says it works offline.
- Turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data, or switch on airplane mode.
- Reload the page. It still opens and still works, because nothing needs the internet.
Developers: open DevTools → Network before choosing a file. Processing makes no requests. Afterwards the page sends one anonymous count (which tool, how many files) to our own statistics server, never a file or its name, and the page's Content Security Policy blocks every other site.

How to remove metadata from a photo
- Choose your photos, or drop them onto the box above. JPG, PNG and WebP work, many at once.
- Each file shows what was removed, for example "location, camera and date (EXIF)".
- Download the cleaned photos one by one, or all of them as a zip. They keep their names, so save them somewhere you'll recognise.
Not sure what a photo contains? Check it first with the EXIF viewer, and again afterwards.
What gets removed, and what stays
- EXIF: the GPS location, the date and time, the camera or phone model, its settings, and often a small preview image.
- XMP and IPTC: editing history, captions, keywords, author and copyright fields that apps add.
- Content credentials (C2PA): the record of where an image came from and how it was edited.
- Comments, PNG text notes and extra data after the image, such as the video part of a motion photo and data some phone makers append.
Two things stay because the photo needs them to look right: the color profile, and the rotation setting, so a photo taken in portrait doesn't turn sideways. The rotation setting is a single number and says nothing about you.
Why it doesn't lose quality
Most tools open the photo, draw it again and save a new JPG, which costs a little quality each time. This one doesn't touch the image data. It copies the compressed picture byte for byte and leaves out the blocks that hold metadata, so the file usually gets slightly smaller and looks identical.
Questions
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything runs inside your browser tab, on your device. "Try it offline" at the top of this page shows how to check.
Can I remove metadata from HEIC photos?
Not here. Convert them with the HEIC to JPG converter: the JPGs it makes carry no location or camera details.
What happens to motion photos?
The short video some phones store inside the photo file is removed along with the other extra data, so you get a still photo.
Does this change the photo on my phone?
No. You download a cleaned copy. The original stays as it was, so share the copy.
