How to strip EXIF data from a photo
- Select a photo. Choose a JPEG or PNG file. The tool scans it for EXIF, GPS and other metadata.
- Review what was found. See the list of metadata segments — a warning appears if GPS location is detected.
- Download the clean copy. Download the stripped image; the pixels are unchanged but the metadata is gone.
About EXIF and photo privacy
Every photo your phone or camera takes carries EXIF metadata: the device model, capture time, exposure settings and — if location is enabled — the precise GPS coordinates. Posting such a photo can quietly reveal where you live or work. This tool walks the file structure and removes the metadata segments (EXIF/GPS, XMP, comments and text chunks) without re-encoding the picture, so quality is untouched and the operation is lossless. Everything runs locally in your browser. Want to shrink the file too? Send the clean image to the image compressor.
Frequently asked questions
- EXIF is hidden metadata embedded in photos — camera model, date/time, settings and often the exact GPS coordinates where the photo was taken. Stripping it protects your privacy before you share or publish an image.
- No. This tool removes the metadata segments without touching the image data, so the pixels stay byte-for-byte identical. It is lossless — unlike re-saving through a photo editor.
- No. The file is read and rewritten entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server or stored.
- JPEG and PNG — the two formats that carry EXIF and textual metadata. The tool removes EXIF/GPS, XMP, ICC comments and embedded text chunks while keeping the picture intact.
- After you load an image, the tool reports which metadata it found and flags a warning if GPS coordinates are present.
