Remove EXIF Data from Photos
Drop a JPG or PNG — get back the exact same image with all EXIF, GPS and camera metadata stripped. Nothing is uploaded.
Why remove EXIF data before sharing photos?
Every photo taken by a phone or camera carries EXIF metadata: the exact GPS coordinates where it was shot, the timestamp, your device model, and software details. When you post that photo to social media, a forum, or a marketplace listing, that data may travel with the file — revealing your home address, workplace, or daily routines to anyone who downloads it.
How this EXIF remover works
A JPEG file is a sequence of segments. The image pixels live in one segment; metadata lives in separate APP1 (EXIF), APP13 (IPTC/Photoshop) and COM (comments) segments. ExifStrip parses the file structure in your browser, removes those metadata segments, and rebuilds the file — leaving the image data byte-for-byte identical. That is why the result is truly lossless: unlike re-encoding tools, no pixel ever changes.
What gets removed
- GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude)
- Date and time the photo was taken
- Camera / phone model and lens information
- Software and editing history
- IPTC and XMP metadata (captions, author, copyright)
- Embedded thumbnails that may contain the original, un-cropped image
FAQ
Does it work on iPhone photos?
Yes — for JPG photos. If your iPhone saves photos as HEIC, use ourHEIC to JPG converter, which removes metadata during conversion.
Is there a file size or quantity limit?
No. Since processing happens on your device, the only limit is your browser. Batch-drop dozens of files at once — each is cleaned and offered for download individually.
