Strip EXIF data and metadata from images for privacy protection
Photos taken with smartphones and cameras contain hidden metadata (EXIF data) including GPS location, camera model, date/time, and more. Remove this data before sharing online to protect your privacy.
Digital photos contain hidden metadata called EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data. This includes information about when and where the photo was taken, what camera or device was used, camera settings, and sometimes even the GPS coordinates of the location. While useful for organizing photos, this data can be a privacy risk when sharing images online.
Metadata removal is essential for protecting your privacy when sharing photos online. GPS coordinates in photos can reveal your home address or frequent locations. Camera information can identify your device. Timestamps can reveal your daily patterns. Removing this data before posting to social media, selling items online, or sharing photos publicly helps protect your personal information.
Our tool processes images entirely in your browser - images are never uploaded to any server. The metadata is stripped by re-encoding the image without the EXIF data, preserving the visual quality while removing all hidden information. This is completely safe and secure.
