Remove EXIF
Strip EXIF metadata from JPEG images — protect your privacy before sharing
About Remove EXIF
Removes EXIF metadata, including GPS location, from JPEG, PNG and WebP photos by redrawing them on an HTML canvas and saving a clean copy with a -no-exif suffix. Because the file is rebuilt from pixels rather than edited byte by byte, XMP and IPTC blocks are dropped too. Handy before posting photos online, sending them to strangers or listing items for sale.

Frequently asked questions
What EXIF data is removed?
▾
All EXIF metadata is stripped — this includes camera make and model, GPS coordinates, date and time, lens settings, and any embedded thumbnail. The canvas redraw process used by this tool produces a clean image with no metadata.
Does stripping EXIF affect image quality?
▾
For JPEG files, the download uses 95% quality, which is visually indistinguishable from the original for typical photos. PNG files are lossless and are re-encoded with no quality change.
Which image formats are supported?
▾
You can load JPEG, PNG and WebP files. PNGs are saved as PNG, while JPEG and WebP files are saved as JPEG, so any transparent areas in a WebP become black. Other formats, such as HEIC or GIF, aren't offered in the file picker.
Is my image processed on the server?
▾
No. The photo is decoded, redrawn and re-encoded locally with the HTML Canvas API, and the file never leaves your device. You can confirm it in your browser's network tab: no request carries the image.
