JPG works best for reading existing metadata. PNG/WebP supported too. Stays on your device.
Your cleaned image will appear here once generated.
Photos from phones and cameras often embed EXIF data: the exact GPS coordinates where it was taken, the camera or phone model, and a timestamp. This reads what's actually in your file first, then strips all of it by re-encoding the image from scratch.
Common questions
What metadata does this remove?
Everything embedded outside the actual pixel data: EXIF (camera make/model, exposure settings), GPS location, timestamps, software tags, and ICC color profiles. The tool re-encodes the image from its pixels alone, so none of that can survive.
Can you actually see my GPS location before I remove it?
Yes, if your photo has it, it's shown in the "Found metadata" list before you click remove, specifically so you know what was in there. Nothing is sent anywhere: this reads the file entirely in your browser.
Will this affect image quality?
There's a small amount of re-encoding loss for JPEG (comparable to saving a JPEG once more), and none for PNG, since PNG is lossless. Dimensions and visual content aren't changed.
