EXIF Data Remover
Strip GPS coordinates, camera info, timestamps, and every trace of metadata from your photos before sharing them. Never leaves your device.
Photos straight from a phone or camera carry hidden EXIF, IPTC, and XMP data - GPS coordinates, device model, timestamp, sometimes even editing software history - that most people don't realize is embedded before they post online. This tool strips all of it by decoding the image and re-encoding it fresh through Canvas at high quality, which discards every metadata tag by construction rather than editing them one field at a time. Use the Image EXIF Viewer first if you want to see exactly what's in a photo before deciding whether to strip it.

Common questions
What's removed?
Every EXIF/IPTC/XMP tag - GPS, camera model, date, editing history - is stripped by re-encoding through Canvas.
Is the image re-compressed?
Yes, once at high quality (95%). File size may change slightly.
How is this different from the EXIF Viewer?
The Image EXIF Viewer only reads and displays metadata. This tool removes it and gives you a clean file back.
Does it upload my photo?
No. The re-encoding happens locally on a canvas in your browser - nothing is sent to a server.
