What is EXIF data?
EXIF data is hidden image metadata stored inside many photos by cameras, phones, and editing apps. It can describe camera and device traces, lens settings, date and time, GPS location, orientation, thumbnail previews, and the software used to create or edit the image.
Why remove EXIF data from photos
EXIF metadata can travel with an image even when the details are not visible in a normal photo viewer.
Before sharing
A photo can carry hidden camera model, lens details, GPS location, timestamps, device metadata, software tags, and thumbnail data.
After cleaning
A cleaned image copy is ready to upload, post online, or send with embedded metadata removed from supported image files.
How it works
Preview and remove EXIF data from supported photos in four simple steps
Upload your photo
Choose a supported JPG, JPEG, or PNG image from your device.
Preview EXIF metadata
Inspect hidden EXIF, GPS, camera, timestamp, and software metadata before cleaning.
Remove detected metadata
Create a cleaned image copy with embedded metadata removed, including EXIF fields when they are present.
Download the cleaned image
Save the cleaned copy. If no EXIF data is found, you can still download a metadata-cleaned image.
What EXIF data gets removed
The tool removes embedded metadata from supported image files, including common EXIF fields when the original photo contains them.
Exact metadata depends on the image and what the original photo contains. If no EXIF data is found, you can still download a cleaned copy. Orientation, thumbnail metadata, and other embedded image metadata are removed when supported by the current image cleaner.
Private browser-based processing
Your supported image is processed locally in your browser. RemoveMetadata creates a cleaned copy without requiring an account or a server upload.
