How to: Remove EXIF Data
- Upload one or more photos.
- Keep or remove the colour profile and orientation.
- Download clean photos with metadata removed.
Photos from phones often contain the GPS position where they were taken, the device model, serial numbers and editing history. Posting such a photo online or sending it to a stranger can reveal where you live or work. This tool removes that metadata from a whole batch of photos in seconds, without re-encoding or losing any quality.
Common uses
- Remove home location before posting photos on marketplaces or social media.
- Strip camera serial numbers and personal names from published images.
- Clean photos before sending them to journalists or public forums.
- Reduce file size slightly by removing large embedded thumbnails.
Tips for best results
- Keep the colour profile for professional photos so colours stay accurate.
- Check the result with EXIF Viewer if you want to confirm.
- Remember that faces, backgrounds and landmarks can still reveal locations.
- Rename files too if the names contain personal information.
Lossless removal
JPEG files are made of segments: EXIF, XMP, IPTC and comments are stored in separate application segments, which this tool drops while copying the image segments as they are. PNG and WEBP use named chunks, and the text, EXIF and XMP chunks are removed in the same way. Other formats are re-encoded as PNG.
Private by design
It would be ironic to upload private photos to remove private data. Everything happens in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Does removing EXIF reduce quality
No. For JPEG, PNG and WEBP the metadata blocks are cut out of the file and the compressed image data is copied unchanged, so quality is identical to the original.
Why keep orientation
Phones often store photos sideways and use an EXIF flag to display them upright. Keeping only that flag means your photos do not suddenly appear rotated, while everything else, including GPS, is removed.
