Remove the data your photos give away, in bulk

Photos carry your camera, your settings, the exact time and often the exact place. Strip all of it — and for JPG and PNG, without touching a single pixel of the image itself.

Runs entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

How to remove EXIF data from a photo

  1. 1

    Add your photos

    Drop in up to 20 JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC files. Everything is read on your device — a privacy tool that uploads your photos first would defeat its own purpose.

  2. 2

    Remove the metadata

    Press Remove metadata. EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC and embedded comments are dropped. Keep the colour profile switch on unless you want the ICC profile gone too.

  3. 3

    Download and check

    Save one file or the whole batch as a ZIP, then drop a result into the View tab to confirm there is nothing left to read.

EXIF and photo privacy questions

EXIF is a block of information cameras and phones write inside every photo file: the make and model, lens, aperture, shutter speed and ISO, the exact date and time, the software that last edited it, and — if location services were on — the GPS coordinates of the spot where you stood. It is invisible when you look at the picture, and it travels with the file.

Not for JPG and PNG here. Metadata lives in its own segments and chunks, separate from the compressed image data, so we simply do not copy those blocks into the output and pass every remaining byte through untouched. WebP and HEIC have to be decoded and re-saved by the browser, which does cost one round of compression — the tool tells you when that happened instead of quietly claiming it was lossless.

The big networks — Facebook, Instagram, X, WhatsApp — re-encode uploads and drop most metadata from the copy other people see. But they read it first, and it only protects images posted through them. Anything you email, attach in a chat, share from cloud storage, or upload to a site that serves original files still carries the full metadata.

Open the View metadata tab and drop the photo in. If coordinates are present you get a red warning with the exact latitude and longitude read from the file. We deliberately do not link them to a map service — sending your photo's location to a third party is exactly what this tool exists to prevent.

Two details can. Phone cameras often store a photo sideways plus a rotation flag in EXIF, so once that flag is gone some apps show it rotated; the tool warns you when a photo used one. The embedded colour profile can also be removed, which makes wide-gamut photos look duller, so it is kept by default and only dropped if you turn the switch off.

EXIF is written by the camera and describes the shot. IPTC is the press and stock-photo standard for captions, credits and copyright. XMP is Adobe's format, used by Lightroom and Photoshop for edit history and keywords. All three ride along in the same file, and this tool removes all three.

No. The cleaned file is rebuilt without those blocks, so there is nothing left in it to recover. Your original file is untouched on your device, so keep it if the camera settings or capture date matter to you and share only the cleaned copy.

Yes — that is the case this tool is built for. Add up to 20 photos, clean them in one pass, and download the set as a ZIP. For JPG and PNG the pixels are untouched, so a batch cleaned before upload is byte-identical to the originals apart from the metadata that was removed.

Images With No Camera Behind Them

Stripping EXIF removes the trail a camera leaves: the device, the settings, the time, often the exact place. An image generated in the studio never had one — there is no lens, no GPS fix, and no capture time to clean up before you publish.
