About Remove Metadata

Remove hidden metadata from JPEG, PNG, and WebP images to protect your privacy before sharing online. Photo metadata (EXIF) can contain sensitive information including GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken, your camera model, device serial number, shooting date and time, and even the software used for editing. This browser tool reads your image, strips all embedded metadata, and outputs a clean file. The visual content of the image is unchanged. Runs completely locally –no file is sent to any server. Essential for journalists, activists, and anyone who values digital privacy.
