Everything runs in your browser. No data is uploaded or stored.
About this tool
A free, no-signup tool: A tool that removes the hidden metadata from a photo and gives you back a clean copy.
It re-encodes the image through a canvas in your browser, which discards EXIF, GPS coordinates, camera identifiers, and timestamps while keeping the picture itself. Use it before posting or sending a photo you want stripped of location and device data.
The file never leaves your device — the whole process is local.
How to use it
- Drop or choose the photo.
- The tool re-encodes it and offers a cleaned copy to download.
- Download the clean version and share that instead of the original.
Frequently asked questions
How does it remove metadata?
By drawing the image to a canvas and exporting it fresh. The export contains only pixels, so EXIF, GPS, and camera fields are dropped. It is the same technique many upload pipelines use.
Will the image quality change?
Re-encoding a JPEG is lossy, so there is a tiny quality change at high zoom. Exporting as PNG avoids that but makes a larger file. Both are offered.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. It is processed entirely in your browser and never sent anywhere.
