How it works

Metadata Cleaner in 3 steps

  1. Drop a photo onto the tool or click Choose File.

  2. The image is re-encoded automatically with no EXIF block - pixels untouched.

  3. Download the cleaned copy. The original on your device is unchanged.

When to use it

Photos quietly carry EXIF metadata: GPS coordinates of where they were taken, the device that took them, timestamps, and more. This tool re-encodes your image with none of it - locally, in your browser, so the photo itself is never exposed to anyone in the process.

  • Remove GPS location from photos before posting them publicly.
  • Strip device and software fingerprints from images you share professionally.
  • Clean listing photos before publishing on marketplaces.

Format & quality notes

  • The pixels are preserved exactly for PNG output; JPG output is re-encoded at maximum quality.
  • Cleaning removes EXIF, GPS, and embedded thumbnails. It does not alter the visible image.
  • This tool does not remove visible marks on the image, and it does not remove invisible provenance signals embedded in the pixels themselves.
FAQ

Questions about the Metadata Cleaner.

What metadata is removed?

Everything stored alongside the pixels: GPS coordinates, camera make and model, capture time, software tags, and embedded preview thumbnails.

How does it work without uploading?

Your browser decodes the image to raw pixels and re-encodes a fresh file from those pixels. Metadata lives outside the pixel data, so it simply isn't carried across.

Does it change how the photo looks?

No. The visible image is preserved; only the hidden data block is dropped.

Can you see my photos?

No. The entire process runs in your browser's memory. We never receive, store, or scan your images.
