Remove Image Metadata (EXIF, GPS) in Your Browser
Photos often carry the place and time they were taken and the device that took them. Add your images to remove that information before you share them.
Your image files never leave your device.
Metadata removal deletes internal file information such as EXIF and GPS. It does not remove text, logos, watermarks or stickers visible in the image.
or drag and drop images here
Supports: JPG · PNG · WebP · AVIF · HEIC (beta) · GIF · BMP
Up to 100 images at once.
You can also paste an image (Ctrl+V or ⌘V).
Settings
Remove location and camera data. Pixels are copied unchanged; only a photo with a rotation tag is re-encoded so it stays upright.
Good to know
- Location (GPS) and camera data are removed from every file.
- For JPG, PNG and WebP the picture itself is copied without re-compressing, so quality does not change. Exception: a photo with a rotation tag is re-encoded to stay upright, which can change the file size. Other formats are re-encoded.
- The summary shows how many of your files contained location data.
How to remove metadata from a photo
- Add your images: drag them in, choose files, or paste from the clipboard. Up to 100 at a time.
- Press Start. There are no settings to choose.
- Read the summary: it shows how many of your files contained location data.
- Download one file, a selection, or everything as a ZIP. Your originals are never changed.
What is removed and what is not
- Removed: location (GPS) and camera data from every file.
- For JPG, PNG and WebP the picture is copied without re-compressing, so quality does not change. Other formats are re-encoded.
- Not removed: anything you can see in the picture, such as text, logos, watermarks or stickers. To hide part of a picture, use Mosaic & blur; to erase small text or a logo, use Remove object.
- You can add JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF and BMP. HEIC (iPhone photos) is in beta and only opens in browsers that can decode it.
Example
A photo taken at home with location services on can carry the coordinates of your address. Before you post it, add it here and press Start: the summary tells you that one file contained location data, and the copy you download no longer has it. The picture itself looks the same.
Limits
- Metadata removal is not anonymization. A street sign, a house number or a face in the picture is still there.
- A photo with a rotation tag is re-encoded to stay upright, which can change its file size.
- Cleaning a copy does not remove information from the original you keep, or from copies you have already shared.
- The tool works on what is stored inside the file. If the file name itself contains a place or a name, check it before you share.
