EXIF Remover

Strips the metadata a photo quietly carries — GPS position, capture time, camera model, editing history — and gives you a clean copy safe to share. The image itself is untouched; only the hidden data goes. Processing never leaves your browser.

How to use

1. Drop the photo.
2. Review what was found — location and timestamps are the usual surprises.
3. Download the cleaned copy.
4. Share the cleaned file and keep the original for your own records.

When you actually need this

• Removing home coordinates from photos taken at home before posting them.
• Selling items online without the pickup-point GPS embedded in the listing photos.
• Sharing photos of children with location history removed.
• Sending work samples without camera serials and edit traces attached.

What EXIF holds, and who strips it for you

A phone photo typically records precise GPS coordinates, exact capture time, device model and orientation — enough to map where and when you were. Big social networks strip EXIF on upload, but email, chat apps and file transfers pass it through intact, and marketplace uploads vary. Stripping metadata removes hidden data only: what is visible in the pixels — faces, plates, documents on a desk — stays visible, and that is the mosaic tool's job. One side effect to expect: photos relying on the EXIF orientation flag may display rotated after cleaning; fix them with the rotate tool.

FAQ

Are my photos uploaded to a server when I use EXIF Remover?

No. EXIF Remover reads the file with the browser's Canvas API and processes every pixel on your own device. The image never leaves your computer, which is why it still works if you go offline after loading the page.

Will EXIF Remover reduce the quality of my image?

That depends on the setting you choose. JPEG and WebP are lossy, so a lower quality value means a smaller file and more visible artifacts; PNG is lossless and keeps every pixel exactly. Start around 80 percent quality — most photos stay visually identical at roughly a third of the original size.

Is there a file size or count limit?

There is no limit imposed by the site, because nothing is uploaded. The practical ceiling is your device's memory — very large files (over roughly 50 MP) may be slow on an older phone.
