Good to know: Re-saving through a canvas drops EXIF, GPS location, camera details and other hidden metadata.
Metadata and EXIF Remover is a free privacy tool that strips hidden metadata from photos entirely in your browser, with nothing uploaded. Re-saving each image removes embedded EXIF data including GPS location, camera make and model and timestamps, along with IPTC and XMP blocks, while keeping the picture itself. It shows what was detected and supports batch processing of up to 250 images.

Files are processed in your browser and never uploaded.

How to use Metadata & EXIF remover

  1. Add your files

    Drop up to 250 image files onto the upload area, or tap the area to choose them from your device.

  2. Run it

    Press Remove metadata, 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 Download all (zip), 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

Strips EXIF, GPS, camera info and more

EXIF, GPS coordinates, camera make and model, software tags and embedded thumbnails are all dropped from the copy you download.

Shows what metadata was detected

The page lists what it found in each image first, so you can see whether a photo was carrying a location before you strip it.

Batch up to 250 images

Add up to 250 JPG, PNG or WebP images and the whole batch is cleaned in one run.

Keeps the picture, drops the data

The pixels are untouched. Only the metadata block is removed, so the picture looks exactly the same afterwards.

Fully private, nothing uploaded

Everything happens in your browser, which is rather the point: a photo you are stripping a home address out of is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Images are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded, which is the whole point: your private photos and their location data stay on your device.

What metadata gets removed?

Re-saving the image strips embedded EXIF data, including GPS location, the camera make and model, timestamps, and other hidden tags, as well as IPTC and XMP blocks. The picture itself is kept.

Why does removing metadata matter for privacy?

Photos from phones and cameras often embed the exact GPS coordinates and time a picture was taken. Sharing them can reveal where you live, work or were at a given moment, so stripping that before posting protects you.

Will the image quality change?

Dimensions and appearance are preserved. JPEG output is re-encoded at high quality, and you can choose PNG for a lossless result. Orientation is applied so the photo stays upright.

Can I clean several at once?

Yes, up to 250 images. Each shows what metadata was detected, and you can download them individually or all together as a ZIP.
