About this tool
Photos remember where they were taken. Post one from your phone and, unless the site strips it, anyone can read the GPS coordinates of your home, along with your camera model and the software you edited with. This tool removes all of that: EXIF, XMP, IPTC, comments, and embedded thumbnails.
For JPG, PNG, and WebP the metadata segments are cut out of the file directly, so the image pixels are untouched and the quality is exactly the same. HEIC and other formats are re-saved as a clean JPG or PNG. Drop in a whole folder and download the cleaned copies as a ZIP.
Everything happens inside your browser. Your file is never uploaded to a server: the conversion runs on your own device using WebAssembly, and the result is downloaded straight from memory. Close the tab and nothing is left behind.
How to use it
- Drop your JPG files into the box above, or click to browse. Nothing is uploaded.
- Click the button and wait a moment.
- Download the results individually or all at once as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?
No for JPG, PNG, and WebP: only the metadata is removed, byte for byte. HEIC and other formats are converted, which involves one high-quality re-encode.
Will the photo still display correctly?
Yes. Orientation stored in EXIF is applied before removal where needed, so photos are not rotated by mistake.
Do social networks strip EXIF anyway?
Most large ones do, but forums, email, cloud shares, and many smaller sites do not. Cleaning the file first means you never have to wonder.
Is this really free?
Yes. The site is supported by ads, and there are no limits on how many files you convert.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser. Files stay on your device, which also makes it faster than upload-based converters for anything larger than a few megabytes.
Is there a file size limit?
The only limit is your device's memory. Images and audio of any normal size are fine; for video, files under about 500 MB work well on most laptops and phones.
Which browsers are supported?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on desktop and mobile. Very old browsers without WebAssembly support will not work.
