How to use
When it helps
Photos taken with a phone store the date and time, the device model and, if location services were on, the exact GPS coordinates. This data is called EXIF. Sharing an original photo taken at home, such as for an online listing or a photo of your kids, can reveal where you live.
This tool shows the metadata in a table and warns you with a map link when a photo contains a location. When you remove the data, JPG and PNG files have only the metadata cut out while the image data is left alone, so quality does not change at all.
If a photo relies on orientation data to display upright, removing it could make the photo appear sideways. Photos with orientation data are therefore re-saved in the correct orientation. Run your photos through this before posting them to blogs or social media.
FAQ
Doesn't social media remove location data automatically?
Most large social networks strip it on upload, but blogs, forums, email attachments, cloud share links and chat apps that send original files often pass it along unchanged. Removing it yourself is the surest way.
Does removing metadata reduce quality?
JPG and PNG are not recompressed, so quality stays the same. JPG files with orientation data, and WEBP or HEIC files, are re-saved and may change very slightly.
What gets removed?
EXIF (capture settings, GPS, device info, thumbnail), XMP, IPTC, comments and other non-image data. With Keep color profile on, the ICC profile stays so colors do not shift.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Reading and removing metadata both happen entirely in your browser.
No information shows up.
Screenshots and photos received through chat apps often have their metadata stripped already. In that case there is nothing to remove.
