How to remove image metadata

Re-export selected images without carrying common ancillary fields into the new files.

  1. Add one or more supported images.
  2. Read any metadata-presence or colour-profile warning. This screen does not list GPS coordinates, camera models, capture times or individual metadata values.
  3. Create cleaned copies and compare their appearance and file sizes.
  4. Download the new files and verify sensitive results with a separate metadata inspector; keep the originals if you need their embedded records.

What metadata means

Image files can contain camera model, capture time, coordinates, editing software, comments and other non-pixel information.

  • The tool removes source metadata by decoding pixels and producing a fresh file; it is not a metadata-only edit of the original bytes.
  • Original EXIF, XMP, comments and colour profiles are not carried over. The browser may add its own format information, and colour appearance can change.

When to clean a photo

Metadata cleanup is useful before distributing images beyond trusted recipients.

  • Publishing phone or camera photos on a public site.
  • Sending images where capture location should remain private.
  • Removing editor and device fields from shared deliverables.

Check both appearance and fields

Cleaning uses a fresh export, so compressed formats can change slightly.

  • Use high JPG quality for important originals.
  • Do not treat metadata removal as redaction of visible information inside the pixels.

Metadata inspection stays on-device

Files and detected metadata are processed in the current browser only.

  • No location, camera or file-name fields are sent to analytics.
  • For highly sensitive work, verify the downloaded file with a separate trusted inspector.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does this remove GPS location?

The cleaned export omits common EXIF fields, including GPS when present in a supported source.

Does it blur visible addresses or faces?

No. It removes embedded data, not details visible in the image itself.

Does the screen show my GPS coordinates or camera model?

No. It can warn that common metadata or a colour profile exists, but it does not display individual values or provide a complete before-and-after metadata audit.

Does no warning mean my file has no metadata?

No. The advisory preflight checks at most the first 1 MiB for metadata markers. Records later in a file may not trigger it. An absent warning is not a privacy certificate; inspect the saved export separately.

Is every possible private field guaranteed to be removed?

No universal privacy guarantee is made. A fresh export omits common source metadata, but visible content, the downloaded filename and browser-generated format fields still need consideration. Verify sensitive files independently.
