About the EXIF Metadata Remover
This free EXIF remover strips hidden metadata from a photo — including GPS location, camera model and the date it was taken — before you share it. Drop in an image and download a clean copy with the metadata removed.
It runs in your browser — your photo is never uploaded.
What EXIF metadata is
Most photos carry EXIF metadata: extra data embedded alongside the picture that can include the exact GPS coordinates where it was taken, the camera or phone model, the date and time, and camera settings. It's useful for organising photos, but it can quietly reveal your home location or routine when you post an image online.
How the removal works
The tool redraws your image onto a fresh canvas and re-encodes it. Because a canvas only holds the pixels, this process discards every piece of metadata — GPS included — while keeping the picture itself unchanged. You get a visually identical image with nothing hidden inside it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove EXIF data from a photo?
Drop the photo in and download the clean copy — the tool re-encodes the image through a canvas, which discards all EXIF metadata including GPS location.
Does removing EXIF change how the photo looks?
No. Only the hidden metadata is removed; the pixels are unchanged, so the image looks exactly the same.
Why should I remove photo metadata before sharing?
Because EXIF can include the exact GPS location and time a photo was taken, which may reveal your home or routine. Stripping it protects your privacy when posting online.
Does this remove GPS location?
Yes. GPS coordinates are part of the EXIF data, so they're removed along with the camera model, timestamps and other metadata.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The metadata is stripped entirely in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device.
