Key Features

Pick exactly what to remove

Eight categories—GPS, camera & lens, shooting settings, date & time, author, description, thumbnail, XMP—each with its own checkbox. Keep what you want, strip the rest.

GPS location gone in one click

Uncheck everything else, keep only GPS, and your photo loses its geotag instantly—share safely without leaking where it was shot.

Binary stripping, no re-encoding

When you remove everything, we strip segments directly at the byte level—no JPEG recompression, no PNG re-export. The output pixels are identical to the input.

JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF

Works on every common photo format. Selective removal on JPEG / PNG / WebP, full strip on AVIF and HEIC.

100% in your browser

Nothing is uploaded. Every byte stays on your device. Once the page is loaded, the tool works completely offline.

ICC color profile preserved

We never touch your color profile—wide-gamut JPEGs and print-ready PNGs keep their ICC_PROFILE segment intact.

Remove EXIF Data strips all metadata from your photos including GPS location, camera settings, timestamps, and device information. Protect your privacy before sharing photos online by removing data that reveals where and when a photo was taken.

Essential for privacy-conscious users sharing photos on social media, forums, or websites.
