Remove EXIF & GPS Metadata from Photos

Photos from phones and cameras hide EXIF metadata — GPS coordinates, camera model, serial number and the exact date and time. Share them and you share all of that. This EXIF remover scans your image, shows what it found, then re-encodes it through a canvas so the downloaded copy carries no EXIF, GPS or XMP data. It also reads the original orientation tag and bakes the rotation in, so cleaned photos never come out sideways. Everything happens in your browser.

Add a photo above to scan it for EXIF and GPS data, then download a clean copy.

How to use

  1. Drop, paste or click to add a photo (JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF, up to 25 MB).
  2. Read the scan result — it flags GPS location, camera/EXIF data and other hidden tags found in the original.
  3. Check the preview; the image is auto-straightened from its EXIF orientation so it is never sideways.
  4. Pick JPG or PNG and, for JPG, set the quality.
  5. Click Download clean image to save a metadata-free copy.

Frequently asked questions

What is EXIF data and why remove it?
EXIF is metadata embedded in photos by cameras and phones: GPS coordinates, camera make and model, serial number, and the date and time. Removing it protects your location and privacy before you post or send an image.
Does this remove GPS location from my photo?
Yes. Re-encoding the image through a canvas discards the entire EXIF block, including the GPS coordinates. The tool also warns you when a photo contains location data so you know it was there.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser using the FileReader and Canvas APIs. Your image is never uploaded, so nothing is sent over the network and nothing is stored.
Will removing EXIF rotate my photo the wrong way?
No. The tool reads the original EXIF orientation tag and applies the matching rotation or flip to the canvas, so the cleaned image stays upright even though the orientation tag is gone.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
Choose PNG for a lossless, pixel-perfect copy. JPG re-encodes the image, so pick a high quality such as 92% to keep it visually identical while producing a smaller file.
