EXIF Remover

Drop photos to strip metadata

JPEG, PNG, or HEIC. We strip GPS, dates, camera details, software history, and IPTC tags. Files never leave your device.

Advanced — pick what to remove

Every kind of hidden tag, gone.

Most photos carry 20-40 hidden metadata tags. Some of them reveal more than you think — exact GPS, device serial, editing software. We strip them all by default.

GPS location

Latitude, longitude, and altitude removed. The most-shared and most-sensitive data point.

Capture date

DateTimeOriginal, DateTimeDigitized, and the file's modified time all cleared together.

Camera fingerprint

Make, model, lens, and device serial numbers gone. No way to tie the photo back to your specific hardware.

Software history

Adobe, Lightroom, Snapseed processing markers stripped. No record of how the photo was edited.

Author and copyright

Artist, copyright, description, and IPTC keyword tags cleared. Anonymous output.

Batch processing

Drop a folder, get every photo cleaned in one ZIP. Per-file before/after tag count shown.

Common questions about removing EXIF.

Why should I remove EXIF metadata?
Every photo from a phone or modern camera carries hidden data: GPS coordinates of where it was taken, the exact date and time, the device serial number, and sometimes the editing history. Stripping this protects your privacy when sharing photos publicly, listing items for sale, or sending images to people outside your trusted circle.
Is the EXIF Remover free? Any limits?
Fully free. No accounts, no size limits, no daily caps. Drop as many photos as you want. The whole tool runs in your browser, so we have no server-side costs to recoup.
Do photos leave my device?
No. The tool loads files into your browser, strips the metadata locally, and gives you the cleaned files back. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is logged. Close the tab and the files are gone.
Which formats are supported?
JPEG (the typical phone or camera output) is fully supported. HEIC files from iPhones are converted to JPEG first, then stripped. PNG files are returned untouched because PNG doesn't carry EXIF metadata in the first place.
What's the difference between the default strip and advanced mode?
The default strip removes every EXIF marker — the safest and simplest option, used by 90% of visitors. Advanced mode lets you pick exactly which categories to clear: GPS only, dates only, camera-identifying tags only, software history, or author/copyright fields. Useful when you want to keep, for example, the date but remove location.
Will the photo look the same?
Yes. Only metadata is removed. The image pixels are not re-compressed beyond what JPEG already does on save. Visual quality matches the original.
Does removing EXIF break anything?
It removes orientation tags, so a few older viewers may show a stripped photo rotated. Modern apps and websites handle this fine. If you care about EXIF orientation, use advanced mode and skip the camera category.

Skip the cleanup. Decide what gets recorded at the shutter.

Stripping metadata after the fact is fine, but the iOS app lets you control what gets written to the photo as you shoot. Stamp visible date and GPS onto the image, skip the hidden EXIF that social platforms strip anyway.
