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.
Mixed · Partial offlineSupported formats and metadata
The browser reads the metadata of JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and TIFF files. It reads the EXIF, the IPTC, the XMP, and the text segments, and it shows the GPS position when the file holds one. It removes the metadata in place in JPEG, PNG, and WebP files. Every other format, such as GIF or HEIC, needs the server option.
A removal covers the metadata segments in this list. It cannot promise that no private detail stays in the pixels of the image.

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.
Choose which segments go. The default removes every EXIF tag, the XMP packet, the IPTC block, and the comments. The GPS only option removes the position and keeps the camera settings. The browser option always keeps the ICC color profile and the orientation marker, so the photo keeps its color and its rotation. A removal covers these segments only. It cannot promise that no private detail stays in the pixels of the image.
