Remove metadata from an image online
Most phone photos carry more than a picture: camera make and model, exact settings, and often the GPS coordinates of where it was taken. Add your images and download clean copies with none of that attached.
This works by re-drawing the image from scratch rather than editing tags — the pixels are decoded and redrawn onto a blank canvas, which produces a file with nothing in it but the picture. There is no metadata left to find, not just hidden or blanked.
Your images never leave your device. The stripping runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, stored, or scanned, and a batch costs no more than a single file.

Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Metadata is removed in your browser using JavaScript, so your files stay on your device — which matters especially here, since the whole point is not to send a photo with your location in it to a server.
What actually gets removed?
Everything: EXIF data (camera make, model, lens, exposure settings, timestamp), GPS coordinates if present, orientation tags, thumbnail previews embedded in the file, and any software or colour-profile tags. The image is rebuilt from its pixels alone, so there is nothing left over to strip selectively — it is all gone at once.
Does this reduce image quality?
The image is re-encoded, which for JPG applies the same small, standard compression any JPG save does — invisible at normal viewing sizes. PNG and lossless WebP carry the pixels across exactly.
Why would GPS data be in a photo in the first place?
Most phones tag photos with location by default when the camera app has permission, so the photos in your camera roll likely carry it even if you never thought about it. It travels with the file wherever you send it unless something strips it first — many messaging apps do this automatically, but email, cloud storage, and direct file transfers usually do not.
Does my phone remove this automatically before I upload?
Some platforms do, most do not, and it is inconsistent enough that checking is the safer habit — especially before posting a photo publicly or sending one to someone you do not want to know exactly where you were standing.
Is there a limit on how many files?
Thirty at a time, which is a limit of your device rather than our policy — everything is held in memory while it works.
