Remove EXIF Data from Your Photos
To remove EXIF data from a photo: open the homepage uploader, choose your image, and click Remove metadata. In a few seconds you'll get a clean copy to download with every EXIF tag — camera model, exposure settings, timestamps, and GPS coordinates — completely removed. No signup, no software to install, and your files are automatically deleted within 24 hours.
It works in your browser on any device. The image itself is never altered: we strip the hidden metadata only and never re-encode the file, so your photo stays pixel-for-pixel identical to the original.
Why removing EXIF data matters
Every photo your phone or camera takes carries an EXIF block — a hidden record embedded in the file. It can reveal the device you used, the date and time of the shot, and, most sensitively, the exact GPS location where the picture was taken. When you post that image to a forum, send it to a buyer, or attach it to a listing, all of that data can travel with it.
Stripping EXIF data before you share protects your privacy and safety. It stops images from quietly disclosing your home address, your daily routine, or the gear in your camera bag. For journalists, activists, sellers, and anyone sharing photos publicly, removing EXIF is a simple, important step.
Our tool uses ExifTool, the industry-standard metadata engine, to wipe EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and other embedded tags in one pass — running on Cloudflare's edge so your file is processed quickly and then deleted. Learn more on our About page, or see the full FAQ for supported formats and details.

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove EXIF data from a photo?
Open the homepage, click Choose File, select your photo, and click Remove metadata. Within seconds you get a clean copy with all EXIF data — camera model, settings, timestamps, and GPS — stripped out. There's no signup, and your files are automatically deleted within 24 hours.
Does removing EXIF data reduce photo quality?
No. We strip metadata only and never re-encode the image, so the pixels stay byte-for-byte identical to your original. Resolution, format, and quality are unchanged — only the hidden EXIF data is gone.
What EXIF data is stored in my photos?
A typical photo's EXIF block holds the camera or phone model, lens and exposure settings, the date and time it was taken, orientation, and — if location services were on — the exact GPS coordinates. All of it travels silently with the file when you share it.
Is removing EXIF data free?
Yes, completely free with no account required. Files up to 500 MB are supported, and both your upload and the cleaned copy are deleted within 24 hours.
