EXIF Remover
See what metadata is hidden in your photo, then strip it before sharing.
How to use this tool
Choose a photo (JPEG, PNG, or WebP). Any embedded metadata is listed automatically. Click "Remove metadata & download" to get a clean copy with all of it stripped.
About this tool
Metadata display was verified against exiftool's own readback on a test photo with known embedded values (camera make/model, date, GPS coordinates, orientation) before publishing. Removal works by redrawing the photo onto an HTML canvas and re-exporting it — a canvas only ever holds pixel color data, so the exported file cannot carry over any of the original metadata.
100% client-side — your photo is never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No — everything happens in your browser. The photo is never sent to any server, before or after removing its metadata.
How does removing EXIF metadata actually work?
The photo is decoded and redrawn onto an HTML canvas, then re-exported as a new image file. A canvas only ever holds raw pixel color data — there is no channel for metadata — so the freshly exported file cannot carry over any of the original EXIF data, GPS location, or camera details. This is a standard, reliable technique used by many EXIF-stripping tools.
Will the photo's orientation change?
No — the tool reads the EXIF orientation tag (if present) and applies it before re-encoding, so the output looks the same way up as the original, just without the embedded metadata.
