Remove EXIF data from photos
Photos store invisible EXIF metadata: the exact GPS location, camera model, serial number and capture time. This tool removes them before you share – entirely locally in your browser, with no upload.

How it works
- 1
Choose photos
Drag one or more images into the field above – JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and also HEIC photos from an iPhone.
- 2
Remove the EXIF data
One click strips all metadata. Images are re-encoded at the highest quality – HEIC photos are saved as universally readable JPG.
- 3
Save the cleaned images
Save the images individually or as a ZIP – without location data, camera identifiers or timestamps.
Your benefits
Your home stays private
Smartphone photos almost always contain GPS coordinates. Sharing a photo taken at home otherwise means sharing your address. After cleaning, no location data remains in the file.
Cleaning without a new risk
An EXIF remover that uploads your photos replaces one privacy problem with another. Here your photos demonstrably never leave your device – the Content Security Policy blocks any transfer.
Full image quality
Re-encoding uses the highest quality level of each format. PNG stays lossless; JPG, WebP and AVIF keep their visible quality.
Frequently asked questions
What data is stored in a photo's EXIF metadata?
Typically the GPS coordinates of the capture location, camera make and model, sometimes the serial number, capture date and time, exposure values and the software used. All of it is removed during cleaning.
Are my photos uploaded for this?
No. Cleaning runs entirely locally in your browser. For private photos an upload would be the bigger risk – here it is technically impossible.
How does the removal work technically?
Images are decoded in the browser and re-encoded without metadata blocks. JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF keep their format; HEIC photos are saved as JPG, since browsers cannot write HEIC.
Does image quality suffer from the cleaning?
PNG is re-encoded losslessly. JPG, WebP and AVIF use the highest quality level, so in practice there is no visible difference.
Does the tool also remove a date from the file name?
No. It removes the invisible metadata inside the file. A date in the file name itself can simply be renamed when saving.
