Frequently Asked Questions

It clears the EXIF block along with XMP, IPTC and PNG text chunks, which is where GPS coordinates, camera make and model, capture time, software names and author fields live.
No. The visible pixels are left alone, so the picture is identical. The file may be marginally smaller because the unused metadata bytes are no longer written out.
The orientation tag is applied to the image itself, so the picture still displays the right way up after the rest of the metadata has been discarded.
The upload is processed in temporary storage and deleted as soon as the cleaned file has been generated. Nothing is retained or shared.

About Image Metadata Remover

Every photo you take with a phone or a modern camera carries a hidden data block behind the visible picture. It records the make and model of the device, the exact date and time, the software that saved it and, if location services are on, the GPS coordinates of where you were standing. That block is invisible in the image and travels with the file every time you share it.

It is a genuine privacy consideration. A photo of your child at a school play can contain their home address in the GPS tag. A picture of a client at their office can reveal the building. Uploading to a stock library, a property listing or a public profile without checking is how that information ends up indexed and searchable.

This tool removes EXIF and other metadata from jpg, jpeg and png uploads of up to 10 MB. The visible pixels are untouched, so your photo looks exactly the same, but the identifying data goes. It is a good habit to apply before posting any image of your home, your workplace, your children or a document you photographed.

When to Use This Tool

  • Stripping GPS location data from photos of your home, office, car or any private place before posting them
  • Removing camera model, timestamp and software tags from images being submitted to a stock library
  • Cleaning up a scan or screenshot of a document before it is emailed or uploaded anywhere
  • Reducing the file size as a side effect, since the leftover metadata bytes are no longer saved
