Image Metadata Remover

Remove EXIF and hidden metadata from your images for privacy.

An image metadata remover strips hidden EXIF data — such as camera, GPS location and timestamps — from your images by re-encoding them without that data.

Choose an image from your device. It is processed locally and never uploaded.

How to Use the Image Metadata Remover

  1. Upload an image. Choose an image with metadata.
  2. Download the cleaned image. Get a version without hidden EXIF data.

What Is Metadata Remover?

Images often contain hidden EXIF metadata — camera model, timestamps, GPS coordinates and more. Removing it protects your privacy before sharing.

What is EXIF metadata?

EXIF is data embedded in images by cameras and phones, including settings, dates and sometimes GPS location. It can reveal private details when you share photos.

Why remove it?

Removing metadata keeps your location and device information private, and reduces file size slightly.
