Remove EXIF Data

Strip EXIF and GPS metadata from a photo by re-encoding it. Protects your privacy, in your browser.

Processed locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Every photo carries hidden EXIF metadata — often including the exact GPS location where it was taken, the device, and the timestamp. Before you post or share an image, Remove EXIF Data strips all of that out by cleanly re-encoding the picture, so you're not accidentally broadcasting where you live or work.

How to remove exif data

  1. 1. Add the photo you want to clean.
  2. 2. It's re-encoded without any EXIF or GPS metadata.
  3. 3. Download the privacy-safe image.

When to use Remove EXIF Data

Post without revealing your location

Strip GPS coordinates before sharing a photo taken at home so its location isn't exposed.

Sell items safely

Remove metadata from marketplace listing photos so buyers can't see where the picture was taken.

Share cleanly

Send an image without leaking your camera model, software or the timestamp.

What EXIF actually contains

EXIF can include GPS latitude and longitude, the date and time, the camera or phone model, lens and exposure settings, and sometimes editing history. Social platforms strip some of it, but not always, and files shared directly (email, chat, marketplace) usually keep everything. Re-encoding the image discards all of it in one pass.

Frequently asked questions

Does this remove GPS location?

Yes. Re-encoding drops all EXIF, including any embedded GPS coordinates.

Will the image look different?

No — the visible picture is unchanged; only the hidden metadata is removed.

Is my photo uploaded to check the metadata?

No. The whole process runs in your browser, which is exactly what you want for a privacy tool.
