Image Metadata Remover
Remove hidden EXIF, GPS coordinates, and camera metadata from your photos. 100% lossless binary stripping with zero quality loss. 100% private in your browser.
Why Strip EXIF & GPS Metadata?
Modern smartphones and digital cameras embed sensitive data into every photo you take. This includes exact GPS coordinates (pointing directly to your home or office), camera serial numbers, and precise timestamps.
- Protect Your Privacy: Prevent stalkers, online platforms, and strangers from locating where you live or travel.
- 100% Lossless Stripping: We directly strip the binary metadata segments (JPEG APP markers, PNG chunks, WebP RIFF) without re-compressing your image pixels. Zero blurriness or compression artifacts.
- Zero Server Uploads: Photos are processed entirely in your web browser RAM and never leave your computer.
Supported Formats & Markers
Our binary engine safely strips metadata from the most popular image formats:
- JPEG / JPG: Strips APP1 (EXIF, XMP), APP2–APP15 (ICC, IPTC, Adobe IRB), and COM comment markers while leaving DHT, DQT, and SOS entropy data intact.
- PNG: Strips ancillary
eXIf,tEXt,zTXt,iTXt, andtIMEchunks while preserving critical IHDR, PLTE, IDAT, and IEND chunks. - WebP: Strips EXIF and XMP RIFF sub-chunks and updates the VP8X extended header flags.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, your photos never leave your device. The entire sanitization process happens 100% locally in your web browser RAM using native JavaScript. Zero photos, location coordinates, or camera identifiers are ever transmitted to any remote server.
No. Unlike traditional tools that re-compress images via HTML5 Canvas (causing generational JPEG quality loss), our engine performs 100% lossless binary stripping. It removes only the metadata marker segments while leaving the compressed image pixel stream completely untouched.
This tool permanently removes GPS location coordinates, camera make and model, lens details, unique hardware serial numbers, creation timestamps, thumbnail caches, and software signatures (like Photoshop or Lightroom history).
The tool supports JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg), PNG (.png), and WebP (.webp) image formats. It strips JPEG APP1–APP15 and COM segments, PNG ancillary chunks (eXIf, tEXt, zTXt, iTXt, tIME), and WebP EXIF/XMP RIFF chunks.
Yes! Once loaded, the tool operates 100% offline via local Service Worker caching. You can safely strip sensitive metadata from photos without an internet connection.
