Remove EXIF
Remove metadata and EXIF data from JPEG and PNG images for better privacy.
About this tool
Remove EXIF strips all embedded metadata from JPEG and PNG images, delivering a visually identical file but without location data, camera model, capture date, or any other private information. It's the simplest way to protect your privacy before sharing photos.
The process is straightforward: select a JPEG or PNG image, the tool processes the file locally removing all metadata, and you download the clean image. Visual quality and dimensions are preserved — only the invisible information (metadata) is removed.
Why this matters: every photo taken with a smartphone or digital camera carries metadata that can reveal where you were when the photo was taken (GPS coordinates), what equipment you use, and when the image was created. When publishing photos on social networks, portfolios, or sending them by email, this data is exposed to anyone with access to the image and the right tools. Stripping EXIF before sharing is a basic digital privacy practice.
Other uses: sanitizing images before publishing on websites, removing metadata before sending images to clients who don't need access to that information, and cleaning photos before including them in public documents or presentations.
