About this tool

Remove hidden details from photos before you post or send them, such as the GPS location where a picture was taken, the camera or phone model, the date and time, and notes written by editing software.

JPG, PNG and WebP images keep their format and file name. Only the metadata is taken out, so the image itself is not re-encoded, except for photos that rely on an EXIF rotation tag. Up to 20 images (8 MB each) are cleaned at once, right in your browser, and nothing is uploaded.

How to use it

Choose up to 20 JPG, PNG or WebP images, or drop them on the page.
There is nothing to set. Select Run.
Preview the cleaned images, then download them one by one or all together as a ZIP.

Common questions

What exactly is removed?

From JPG files: EXIF (including GPS location and camera details), XMP, Photoshop and IPTC data, and comments. From PNG files: EXIF, text and timestamp chunks. From WebP files: EXIF and XMP.

Why was a photo re-encoded or turned upright?

Phones often store photos sideways with an EXIF tag that tells viewers to rotate them. Removing that tag alone would leave the photo sideways, so such photos are first turned upright and saved again at high quality, then cleaned. Other images are not re-encoded.

Does anything else change?

No. Width, height, format and file name stay the same, and apart from the rotation case the pixels are untouched. The file only gets smaller by the size of the removed data.

Which images are not supported?

Only JPG, PNG and WebP are accepted, each up to 8 MB and 24 megapixels. Animated PNG and WebP files are refused.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The metadata is removed in your browser, and the images stay on your device.
