About this tool
Photos quietly carry hidden EXIF metadata — including GPS coordinates of where they were taken, the camera and phone model, and the date and time. This EXIF remover strips that data out and gives you a clean copy to download, so you can share pictures without leaking your home location or device details. It runs entirely on a canvas in your browser, which means the very photos you are trying to protect are never uploaded to a server.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data and why should I remove it?
EXIF is metadata embedded in photos by cameras and phones. It can include the exact GPS location where a picture was taken, the device model, and the date and time. Removing it before you post or send a photo prevents strangers from learning where you live, work or travel.
Does stripping metadata change the image itself?
No. Only the hidden metadata is removed; the visible pixels are re-saved unchanged, so the photo looks exactly the same. You simply get a copy that no longer reveals where and how it was taken.
Are my photos uploaded to remove the metadata?
No, and that is the whole point. The metadata is removed locally in your browser, so the sensitive photo never leaves your device and is never sent to or stored on a server.
