Remove Image Metadata — Free & Private
Strip GPS location, camera info, and other hidden EXIF data before you share a photo. Everything runs locally — nothing is uploaded.
Why strip metadata before sharing a photo?
A photo straight from a phone or camera often carries GPS coordinates of exactly where it was taken, the device model, and a precise timestamp — all invisible unless someone goes looking. That's a real privacy exposure when posting online or sending to someone you don't fully trust. Since this tool re-encodes the image locally in your browser rather than uploading it anywhere, the metadata never leaves your device in the first place — it's simply not written into the output file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this upload my image to a server?
No. Metadata removal happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image is never uploaded or transmitted anywhere.
Why does a photo have hidden metadata at all?
Most cameras and phones embed EXIF metadata in every photo — things like GPS coordinates, the exact camera model, and the date and time taken. That data travels with the file unless something strips it out.
Will this reduce image quality?
No. The image is re-encoded at maximum quality for its format — only the invisible metadata is removed, not any visible detail.
Does this also work for screenshots?
Yes, though screenshots typically don't carry the same GPS or camera metadata as photos. Running them through this tool is still safe and harmless.
Need to capture a webpage too?
Full Page Capture exports any webpage as a screenshot or PDF — private by design, just like these tools.
