Remove EXIF data without uploading your photo
See which EXIF and related metadata fields are present, create a cleaned copy in your browser, and verify what the resulting file still contains.
What the EXIF remover changes
The cleaner removes supported optional metadata broadly rather than claiming to edit individual fields it cannot safely preserve.
EXIF, XMP, IPTC/Photoshop, comments, application thumbnails, and provenance containers are removed while compressed JPEG pixels and ICC colour profiles are retained.
The visible image is decoded and written to a fresh file. This removes readable optional metadata but can change file size, encoding, or colour-profile handling.
The download is offered only after the actual cleaned output has been parsed again. Remaining supported metadata is shown rather than hidden behind a success message.
“Verified” means the cleaned file was reinspected and no personal-exposure fields supported by this tool were detected. It does not mean a file is anonymous, safe in every context, or free of visible personal information.
Image metadata questions
Is EXIF removed without reducing JPEG quality?
Yes for JPEG files handled by this tool: metadata containers are removed without decoding or recompressing the compressed image data. PNG and WebP use a different re-encoding method.
Does this remove GPS data too?
Yes. GPS tags stored in EXIF are removed with the other supported metadata containers, and the cleaned file is checked again.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The selected photo stays in browser memory on this device. Only non-sensitive aggregate event names are eligible for analytics; filenames, file bytes, and extracted values are not sent.
What metadata can remain?
An ICC colour profile can remain in a JPEG so colours render consistently. Structural format fields will also remain because the file still needs to be a valid image. Unsupported or deliberately preserved fields are reported when readable.
