Remove EXIF and GPS data from photos.
Photos quietly carry metadata: GPS coordinates, camera model, timestamps. Strip it out before you share, losslessly. The pixels are never re-encoded, only the hidden metadata is removed. And because it runs in your browser, the photo you are de-identifying is never uploaded.
Strip metadataStrip
How it works.
Three steps, no setup, nothing uploaded.
Drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP
The file is read at the byte level, directly in your browser.
See what is hiding inside
Before anything changes, you get a list of exactly what the photo is carrying: GPS coordinates, camera make and model, timestamps, software tags, colour profiles.
Download the clean copy
Only the metadata blocks are removed. The image data itself is copied through untouched. Identical pixels, identical quality, nothing hidden.
Questions.
What can someone actually learn from my photo’s metadata?
More than most people expect: GPS coordinates can pinpoint your home or workplace, timestamps sketch your routine, and the camera model reveals what gear you own. A photo shared from your garden can carry your street address.
Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?
No. The tool walks the file structure and removes only the metadata blocks. The image data is never re-compressed, so the pixels, and the quality, are byte-for-byte identical.
What metadata gets removed?
EXIF (including GPS location and camera info), XMP, ICC colour profiles, and text chunks, for JPEG, PNG, and WebP files. You see the full list for your specific photo before you commit.
Don’t social networks strip metadata for me?
Most strip it from what other users see, but you are trusting each platform, forever. And email, cloud drives, and messaging apps often pass the original file straight through. Stripping before sharing removes the gamble.
Is it safe to do this with sensitive photos?
That is the point of running it in your browser: the photo you are de-identifying is never uploaded to anyone, including us. Disconnect from the internet first if you want proof. It still works.
