Click to upload or drag & drop a photo
Processed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploadedWhy this works
Redrawing a photo onto a blank canvas and re-exporting it — which is exactly what happens here — only carries over the visible pixels, not the embedded EXIF block that stores camera model, timestamp, and sometimes GPS coordinates. The result looks identical but no longer carries that hidden data, which is useful before posting a photo somewhere you'd rather not reveal when or where it was taken.
How to use Remove Image Metadata
- Upload the file (or files) this tool needs.
- Let the tool process everything in your browser — this usually takes a few seconds.
- Check the result or information shown on screen.
- Download the output, or copy the information shown, depending on the tool.
Tips for best results
- Well-lit, high-resolution source photos give noticeably better results than dark or blurry ones.
- Process one file at a time first to check the settings before running a large batch.
- Keep your original files — most of these tools create a new file rather than modifying the one you uploaded.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Is my file kept or stored anywhere?
No — nothing is uploaded to a server; all processing happens locally on your device.
Can I use this tool more than once in a row?
Yes — there's no limit on how many times you can use it.
Will this change how my photo looks?
No — the visible image is unchanged; only the hidden metadata is dropped during the re-export.
Does this remove GPS location data too?
Yes — the entire EXIF block, including any embedded location data, is dropped since the output is generated fresh from just the pixel data.
How can I check the metadata is actually gone?
Run the result through our metadata viewer tool to confirm.
