Remove EXIF Data
EXIF is the block of technical metadata a camera or phone writes into a photo - camera model, lens, exposure, capture date and often GPS coordinates. This tool cuts the EXIF block out of the file without re-encoding, so the image quality is untouched and the data is gone. Processed locally in your browser - nothing is uploaded.
What gets removed
EXIF travels with a photo when you share it, quietly telling anyone who receives the file what device you used, when the shot was taken and, if location was on, exactly where. Stripping EXIF before you post is a fast, high-impact privacy step - and because nothing is re-compressed, the photo looks identical.
- Camera make, model and lens
- Exposure: shutter, aperture, ISO, focal length
- Original capture date and time
- Embedded GPS latitude / longitude
- Editing-software fingerprints
Frequently Asked Questions
About stripping EXIF, GPS, AI workflow data and other embedded metadata.
No. Only the EXIF metadata bytes are removed; the pixels are copied unchanged, so there is no quality loss and no re-compression.
No. For JPEGs whose EXIF orientation tag would have rotated the image, the tool bakes the rotation into the pixels before removing the tag, so the downloaded photo stays upright. Only these at-risk photos are re-encoded; everything else is cut losslessly.
