All EXIF metadata
EXIF Editor and Remover reads, edits and strips the hidden metadata stored inside a JPEG photo, entirely in your browser with nothing uploaded. It shows the camera, date and any GPS location, lets you change the make, model, author, copyright, description, date taken and GPS coordinates and save a copy with the new EXIF, or download a clean copy with all metadata removed.

Files are processed in your browser and never uploaded.

How to use EXIF editor & remover

  1. Add your file

    Drop your image file onto the upload area, or tap the area to choose it from your device.

  2. Run it

    Press Save changes, Don →. The button stays disabled until there is something to work on, and each file shows its own progress and result.

  3. Save the result

    Press Save changes, Don →. Each finished file keeps a name based on the one you started with, so you can tell the versions apart.

What this tool does

Edit camera, date, author, copyright and description

Camera make and model, the date taken, artist, copyright, description and software are all editable, and your changes are written back into the file.

Add, change or remove the GPS location

GPS latitude and longitude can be added, corrected or removed, which is the field most people want gone before sharing a photo.

Strip all metadata losslessly from a JPEG

Stripping metadata rewrites only the header, so the image data itself is untouched and the photo does not lose any quality.

Reads and writes locally, nothing uploaded

The JPEG is read, edited and saved entirely in your browser, so a photo with a home address in it never leaves the machine.

Works with JPEG photos that carry EXIF

EXIF lives in JPEG files, so that is what this reads and writes. A PNG or a WebP has no EXIF block to edit.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The photo is read, edited and saved entirely in your browser, so it and its metadata never leave your device.

Can I edit the metadata?

Yes, for JPEG photos. Change the camera make and model, author, copyright, description, software, date taken and GPS location, then press Save changes to download a copy carrying the new EXIF.

How do I add or remove the location?

Type a decimal latitude and longitude in the GPS fields and Save to add or change it, or clear those fields and Save to strip the location. Remove all metadata clears everything at once.

Does editing lower the quality?

No. For a JPEG only the metadata block is rewritten, so the picture itself is untouched and there is no recompression. Stripping a JPEG is lossless too.

Why can't I edit my image?

EXIF lives in JPEG photos. PNGs, screenshots and many edited images carry none. If a photo has no EXIF, the editor opens empty so you can add it, and for a PNG you can press Convert to JPEG first, then fill in the fields.
