Metadata is stripped
All EXIF fields — GPS coordinates, camera info, timestamps, author — are removed from the file header.
Download the clean file
Save the privacy-safe image. Pixel quality is preserved at 95%+ fidelity — the image looks identical.
The invisible data inside every photo
Every photo your camera or smartphone takes automatically embeds a layer of invisible data alongside the pixels you can see. This hidden data — called EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data — can include the precise GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken, the exact date and time, the make and model of the device, lens focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and sometimes your name or copyright notice.
Most people are unaware this data exists. When you share an image online, you may inadvertently be sharing far more information than you intend.
Real situations where metadata exposes you.
Selling items online
A photo taken at home and uploaded to a marketplace listing may contain the GPS coordinates of your home address. Anyone who downloads the image can pinpoint where you live.
Dating app profile photos
Profile pictures taken at home or near your usual locations can reveal your neighbourhood or regular spots if EXIF data is preserved in the upload.
Journalists and activists
Photographers working in sensitive environments may inadvertently embed the GPS location of a source or protest location. Stripping metadata is standard practice in responsible journalism.
Children's photos shared online
Photos shared on parenting forums or public social media profiles can include the GPS location of your home, school, or daycare in the EXIF data.
Real estate photography
Listing photos reveal the GPS location of the address in EXIF data. If the listing is removed but images circulate, the address remains discoverable through the image file.
Legal documents and whistleblowers
A photo taken as evidence may embed the location and device of the photographer. Removing EXIF data before sharing protects the source.
Every EXIF field, completely erased
The tool strips all of the following fields from your image file header:
How the metadata removal works
The tool reads your image entirely within the browser using the File API. It draws the raw pixel data onto an HTML Canvas — this process inherently discards all EXIF metadata, because canvas only contains pixel values, not file headers. The canvas is then exported back to a JPEG, PNG, or WebP file. The output contains zero metadata. No data is ever sent to a server, and the tool never has access to anything beyond the image you provide.
