How to Use Metadata Remover Online

Most phone photos carry EXIF metadata, including the exact GPS coordinates where they were taken, the date and time, the camera model and sometimes its serial number. This metadata remover shows you what's hidden in each photo, then strips it instantly in your browser. JPG, PNG and WebP files are cleaned losslessly: only the metadata bytes are removed and the image itself is copied untouched, so there's no quality loss and no re-compression. Orientation is kept so portraits stay upright. HEIC and other formats are saved as a fresh, metadata-free JPG. Because everything runs client-side, your photos are never uploaded to a server, which is the whole point of a privacy tool. Clean a single picture or a whole batch and download them together as a zip, free and without limits.

Frequently asked questions

What metadata does this remove from my photos?

EXIF (GPS location, date and time, camera and lens, serial numbers, software), XMP editing data, IPTC captions and credits, comments and extra embedded images. Colour profiles and orientation are kept so the photo looks exactly the same.

Does removing EXIF data reduce photo quality?

Not for JPG, PNG and WebP: the image data is copied byte for byte and only metadata is removed. HEIC and other formats are re-saved as a high-quality JPG, because browsers can't edit them directly.
