How to clean it

Method The hidden records are cut out and the picture data is copied across untouched, so there is no second round of compression. JPEG and PNG only; anything else is rebuilt.

Remove the colour profile as well

Off by default. A profile says nothing about you, and taking it out can shift the colours of an edited picture.

Save as

Format GIF and BMP cannot be written by a browser, so those become PNG.

Quality JPEG and WebP only 88

Is It Safe to Do This Online?

A fair question, and the answer is checkable.

What happens to your picture	Most sites that do this	This page
Where the work is done	On their server	In your browser
Who else can see the picture	Whoever runs the server	Nobody, it never left
What happens to the GPS location	Reaches them before it is stripped	Never leaves your device
Can you verify the claim	No, you have to trust it	Yes, see below

Check it yourself. Press F12 to open your browser tools and go to the Network tab. Drop a picture in and use the tool. You will see the page fetch its own code and nothing else: your file is never sent. For a stronger test, load this page, turn off your wifi, and use it anyway. It still works, which would be impossible if a server were doing the job.

How to Strip the Hidden Data Out of a Picture

Drop, choose, download. Your originals are never touched.

Step 1 Drop in as many pictures as you like. They are opened by your browser and never uploaded.

Step 2 Leave the method on lossless unless you also want to change the format.

Step 3 Press the button. Every file is cleaned in one pass.

Step 4 Download them one by one or take the whole set as a ZIP.

What Gets Removed, and What Does Not

Including the one setting that can change how the picture looks.

Lossless is the right choice almost always. The records are simply cut out of the file and the compressed picture data is copied across byte for byte. The picture that comes out is pixel for pixel the one that went in, only smaller on disk. Rebuilding means compressing the picture a second time, which always costs a little quality.

Location is the field that actually matters. A phone photograph with location switched on carries the spot it was taken to within a few metres. Everything else in there is interesting rather than dangerous.

A photograph that was taken sideways is rebuilt, not cut. Many phones write the picture sideways and add an EXIF instruction saying which way up it goes. Cutting that instruction out would leave the picture lying on its side everywhere, so those files are redrawn the right way up instead. You do not have to do anything; it happens per file.

The colour profile is left in unless you ask. A profile tells a screen what the colours are supposed to mean. It says nothing about you, and removing it can shift the colours of a carefully edited picture, so it stays unless you tick the box.

The picture itself can still identify it. Metadata is not the only trace. A photograph of your street is a photograph of your street whatever the file says, and a screenshot can carry a name in the corner. Cleaning the file is worth doing and is not a disguise.

Nothing is uploaded, and that is checkable. The picture is opened, changed and saved by your own browser. Turn your wifi off, reload the page and use it anyway: it still works, which would be impossible if a server were doing the job.

Key Features & Capabilities

What this tool does, and what it deliberately does not.

Never uploaded The files are opened and rewritten by your browser. A tool for removing private data should not need a copy of the file to do it.

Truly lossless The records are cut out and the compressed picture data is copied across untouched, so there is no second round of compression.

Location goes first GPS coordinates, camera, lens, serial numbers, dates, software names and comments all come out together.

Whole folders at once Drop in a hundred holiday photographs and take the cleaned set back as a single ZIP.

Colours stay right The colour profile is kept unless you ask for it to go, because removing it changes how the picture looks rather than what it reveals.

Change format if you want Rebuild mode will also convert to PNG, JPEG or WebP in the same pass, which strips everything by its nature.

About the Image Metadata and EXIF Remover

Every photograph a camera or a phone takes carries a block of records written at the moment of the shot: the make and model, the lens, the exposure settings, the date to the second, sometimes a serial number, and, if the setting is on, the exact place you were standing.

Most of that is harmless. One field is not. Location is accurate to a few metres and travels with the file, so a holiday photograph sent to a stranger is an address sent to a stranger. Sites vary in what they strip on upload and none of them promise anything, so the safe assumption is that whatever is in the file stays in the file.

This page takes those records out. The default method is genuinely lossless: the records are cut out of the file and the compressed picture data is copied across byte for byte, so the picture you get back is identical to the one you put in, only a little smaller. That matters, because the obvious way to strip metadata is to re-save the picture, and re-saving a JPEG always costs quality.

The colour profile is treated separately and left alone by default. It describes what the colours mean rather than anything about you, and removing it from a carefully edited picture can visibly change it. There is a box for it if you want everything gone.

Nothing is uploaded. The files are read, rewritten and handed back by your own browser, which you can prove by disconnecting from the internet and using the page anyway.

Frequently Asked Questions

EXIF, GPS, dates, colour profiles and quality loss.

Drop the photo onto this page and press the button. The EXIF block, including GPS coordinates, camera details and dates, is cut out of the file and the cleaned copy downloads. Nothing is uploaded at any point.

Not in lossless mode. The compressed picture data is copied across byte for byte, so the result is identical pixel for pixel. Rebuild mode re-compresses the picture and does cost a little quality, which is why it is not the default.

Yes. Location lives in the EXIF block along with everything else the camera wrote, and the whole block is removed. You can check the result by dropping the cleaned file into the metadata viewer.

It is kept unless you tick the box. A profile describes colour, not you, and pictures that were edited against a wide gamut profile can look washed out or oversaturated without it.

Yes. Drop in as many as you like, press the button once and take the whole cleaned set back as a ZIP. Everything runs in your browser, so a large batch is limited by your machine rather than by an upload.

Open the cleaned file in the EXIF and metadata viewer on this site. It should report that nothing is hidden inside it.
