Remove Metadata
Remove image metadata without recompressing
Clean EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, comments and other removable metadata from JPEG, JFIF, PNG, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, SVG, BMP and TIFF files directly in your browser.

What this tool removes
Removes EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, comments, timestamps and other removable metadata where supported. Raster image data is not re-encoded, and SVG artwork is not rasterized. TIFF pixel data and BMP bitmap data are kept unchanged. Color profiles are preserved to avoid unexpected color changes.
No recompression
Compressed raster image data is not re-encoded, and SVG artwork is not rasterized, so metadata cleaning does not introduce image-quality loss.
Privacy focused
The files are processed locally in your browser instead of being uploaded for processing.
Batch cleaning
Add multiple JPEG, JFIF, PNG, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, SVG, BMP or TIFF files and clean them in one operation.
Remove hidden image metadata before sharing a file
Image files can contain information that is not visible in the picture itself. Depending on the format and source, metadata may include camera details, timestamps, GPS coordinates, editing information, comments, XMP or IPTC fields and other application-specific data.
The Remove Metadata tool cleans supported metadata structures directly in the browser. For supported raster formats, the goal is to remove metadata without recompressing the image pixels, so cleaning does not require another lossy encode just to strip hidden information.
How it works

Remove metadata
Run the cleaning step to strip supported EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, comments and other removable metadata.

Download cleaned copies
Save the cleaned files individually or use the available batch workflow when working with several images.
When metadata removal is useful
- Clean photos before sharing them publicly when you do not want embedded GPS or camera information to travel with the file.
- Metadata standards vary by format, so not every file contains the same fields or structures.
- Removing metadata is different from blurring visible information inside an image; visible names, addresses or screens must be edited separately.
- Keep the original file if metadata such as capture date or camera information is important for your own archive.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF metadata?
EXIF is a common metadata structure used by cameras and phones. It can store technical capture details and, in some cases, GPS coordinates.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
For supported raster workflows designed to strip metadata without recompressing image data, the pixel content is not intentionally re-encoded just to remove metadata.
Will this remove text that is visible in the photo?
No. Metadata is hidden file information. Visible text, faces, addresses or other image content must be edited with an image-editing tool.
Can I clean multiple images?
Yes. The tool supports a batch-oriented workflow so several supported images can be cleaned in one session.
Are my files uploaded for inspection?
No upload is required for normal metadata removal. The file is inspected and cleaned locally in your browser.
