EXIF Remover

Processed in your browser

Strip EXIF data — including GPS — from a photo before sharing.

Drag and drop a file, or click to browse

JPEG, PNG, or WebP — EXIF stripped losslessly in your browser.

How it works

  1. 1Choose or drag in a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image.
  2. 2For JPEG and PNG, the EXIF segment is removed at the byte level — pixel data is never decoded or recompressed, so image quality is completely unaffected.
  3. 3Download the cleaned copy and check the before/after report to confirm what was removed.

Privacy

Your image never leaves your browser. Stripping happens with JavaScript reading and rewriting the file's bytes directly, in memory, on your device.

Supported formats

JPEGPNGWebP

Limitations

This tool removes EXIF only — IPTC, XMP, ICC, and C2PA data (if present) are left in place. Use the Metadata Cleaner to remove everything. WebP files have no lightweight byte-level EXIF stripper, so they're cleaned via a canvas re-encode instead, which can slightly change image quality.

Frequently asked questions

Will this reduce my photo's quality?
For JPEG and PNG, no — the pixel data is copied through untouched; only the EXIF segment is removed. WebP files are re-encoded, which can cause a small quality change.
Does this remove GPS location?
Yes — GPS coordinates are stored inside the EXIF GPS IFD, which is removed along with the rest of the EXIF data.
What about IPTC or XMP data?
Those are untouched by this tool. If you want everything removed — EXIF, IPTC, XMP, ICC, and C2PA — use the Metadata Cleaner instead.
