Remove EXIF and location data from photos
Photos taken on a phone often carry the date, the device model and the exact latitude and longitude where the shutter was pressed. This tool lists what is recorded and removes all of it with one click. Only the metadata is deleted — the pixels are copied through byte for byte, so quality is unchanged.
Why it matters
Post a photo taken at home and its embedded GPS tag can point straight at your address. Big social networks usually strip EXIF on upload, but email attachments, cloud share links, marketplace listings and forum uploads very often keep it. Removing it yourself before sharing is the only reliable option.
Lossless by design
The tool removes the JPEG metadata segments and the PNG text chunks at the byte level rather than decoding and re-saving the picture, so there is no generational quality loss. Files usually shrink by a few kilobytes to a few tens of kilobytes.
Batch mode
Select several files and they are all cleaned at once, then handed back as a single ZIP — handy for a folder of listing photos or holiday snaps.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is removed?
GPS latitude, longitude and altitude, capture timestamps, camera and phone make and model, lens data, serial numbers, editing software names, author and copyright fields — every EXIF, XMP and IPTC block. The pixels are left alone.
Can I verify it worked?
Yes. Load the cleaned file back into this page and it will report that no metadata remains.
Does it work with PNG and WebP?
Yes. PNG text and eXIf chunks and WebP EXIF/XMP chunks are removed the same way. HEIC files from an iPhone are converted to JPEG and written without metadata.
Will my photo end up rotated?
The EXIF Orientation flag is metadata too, so a few older viewers may show the image differently. If that matters, bake the rotation in with the rotate tool first, then strip the metadata.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything the page needs is loaded when you open it, and your photo is processed entirely on your own device. The image never crosses the network, so there is nothing to intercept and nothing stored on a server.
