How to remove metadata from a photo

  1. Add your photos

    Drop JPEG, PNG or WebP files on the box, or click it to choose them. You can add many at once.

  2. Read what is inside

    Each photo lists what it carries. GPS location and serial numbers are marked, since those point to you or a place.

  3. Download the clean copy

    Save each file, or all of them as one ZIP. The clean copy is checked again before you save it.

Every photo from a phone or camera carries a block of hidden data: where it was taken, which device took it, when, and often more. Share the original and you share that too. This tool shows you what is in the file and cuts it out, working entirely inside your browser tab.

What it does

  • Shows GPS coordinates, camera and lens, dates, software and owner fields.
  • Finds XMP, IPTC and vendor blocks, and text chunks in PNG files, including the prompts some AI image tools write into them.
  • Removes it all without touching the picture data, so there is no quality loss.
  • Keeps the rotation flag and colour profile, so the photo still looks right.
  • Works offline once the page has loaded.

Photo Metadata Remover: questions and answers

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The page reads the file in your browser and builds the clean copy there. You can turn off your connection after the page loads and it keeps working.

What is hidden in a photo?

Typically the camera maker and model, the date and time, and the lens. If location was on, the GPS coordinates of where you stood. Some files add a serial number, an owner name, the editing software and a small preview image.

Does removing metadata lower the image quality?

No. The tool cuts the metadata blocks out of the file and leaves the pixel data exactly as it was. Nothing is decoded or compressed again.

Which formats does it support?

JPEG, PNG and WebP. iPhone photos in HEIC are not supported. Set Settings, Camera, Formats to Most Compatible, or export as JPEG, and then use them here.

Why does the clean copy keep an orientation flag?

Phones store photos sideways and use that flag to turn them upright. Without it the photo opens rotated. The flag says nothing about you or your location.

Do social networks remove this data for me?

Many remove location from what others can see, and not all of them do it everywhere. Email attachments, direct file transfers and cloud links often send the original file with everything in it, so it is safer to clean the file yourself.
