Remove EXIF Data from a Photo

Remove EXIF, GPS, and other metadata from a photo. Byte for byte in the browser, or by a re-encode on the server.

The image stays in your browser by default
The tool reads the tags and removes them on your device. Only the button marked as the server option sends the file anywhere.

JPEG, PNG, and WebP are cleaned in place in the browser. Every other format uses the server option.

About EXIF removal

A phone or a camera writes EXIF data into every photo. The data can hold the GPS position, the date and the time, the camera model, and the serial number. A photo that you post can give your home address and your daily route. This tool removes that data before you share the file.

Choose a photo. The tool lists the tags and marks the ones that can identify you. Then choose one of two options. Remove in the browser cuts the EXIF, the XMP, the IPTC, and the text blocks out of a JPEG, a PNG, or a WebP file on your device. The pixels stay byte for byte, so the quality does not change and the file never leaves your browser.

Remove on the server covers every format, such as AVIF, HEIC, TIFF, and GIF. The file goes to Bun, which re-encodes the image and writes no metadata. The file is processed in memory and is not stored. A JPEG loses a little quality in a re-encode. A PNG and a WebP do not. After the server answers, your browser reads the result again and reports how many tags remain, so you do not have to trust the server.

Download the clean image and share that copy. Download the report if you want a record of the data that the original file held.
