Remove hidden location and camera details from photos before you share them. Your photos stay on your device.

Photos from phones and cameras often carry hidden details: where the photo was taken, the device, the date and sometimes more. Remove EXIF Data draws each picture onto a blank canvas and saves that, so the new file contains only the pixels.
For JPG files the tool scans the file first and tells you what it found, such as camera model, date and GPS location. Because the picture is redrawn, JPG files are re-encoded once, and a rotation flag is applied to the pixels so the photo stays upright.
How to use Remove EXIF Data
- Choose one or more photos, or drop them onto the box.
- Pick an output format, or keep the original.
- Select Remove metadata.
- Read what was found in each file, then download each clean copy or all of them as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The photos are redrawn in your browser and never sent to a server, which matters for pictures with location data.
How does it remove the metadata?
It draws the image onto a canvas and saves the canvas as a new file. Only pixels are carried over, so EXIF, GPS and most other embedded data are left behind.
Does it lower the quality?
JPG and WebP files are re-encoded once at a high quality, so a very small loss is possible. PNG output is lossless.
What happens to photos that were rotated by a flag?
The rotation is baked into the pixels. The picture looks the same as before, and the orientation flag is no longer needed because it is removed.
Does the report show everything that was in the file?
It shows common items it can find in a JPG, such as camera, software, date, GPS and orientation. It is a simple scan, not a full metadata reader, so other fields may exist that it does not list.
Does it remove the colour profile?
Yes. The new file has no embedded profile, so colours are shown in the default web colour space. Most photos look the same.
Should I check the result?
It is good practice. Open the clean file in a metadata viewer if the photo is sensitive.
