Frequently asked questions

What metadata does this remove?

All of it — EXIF fields including GPS coordinates (where the photo was taken), camera make and model, date and time, lens and exposure settings, and any editing history. Re-encoding the image keeps only the pixels.

Why should I remove photo metadata?

Photos from phones and cameras often embed your exact GPS location and device details. Stripping them before posting online protects your privacy.

Will the image look different?

No — it is visually identical. Orientation is preserved; only the hidden data is gone.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Cleaning happens entirely in your browser — the photo never leaves your device, which is exactly why it is safe for private images.

Protect your privacy before you share

Every photo your phone takes can carry a hidden layer of data: the GPS coordinates of where you stood, the exact date and time, and your device model. Social platforms sometimes strip this, but files sent by email, chat or uploaded to many sites keep it. This tool removes all of it locally, so a photo you share reveals only the image — not where you live or what you shoot with. Want it smaller too? Follow up with the image compressor.
