Remove EXIF Data from Photos

See and remove hidden photo data such as the GPS location, camera and date, without re-saving the image. JPG, PNG and WebP, in your browser.

The profile says how to show the colors and holds nothing about you. Without it, some photos look duller.

Runs in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded.

How to use

This tool shows the hidden data inside your photos, such as where they were taken, and removes it, without uploading the photos anywhere.

  1. Add photos: drop them on the box, choose them, or paste one with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac). It works with JPG, PNG and WebP, up to 50 files or 500 MB at once.
  2. Each photo is cleaned straight away, and the list shows what was removed:
    • Location: the exact place the photo was taken, from your phone's GPS.
    • Camera, Serial number and Camera owner, which can link photos to you and your device.
    • Date taken, Author, Copyright, comments and the editing software.
    • Preview picture: a small copy stored inside, which can still show a part you cropped out.
    • Hidden data: extra bytes some phones add after the image, such as a depth map.
  3. Download each photo, or all of them with Download all (.zip).

The picture itself isn't re-saved: the tool cuts out the data blocks and copies the image byte for byte, so the quality stays exactly the same.

Two things stay on purpose. Photos stored sideways keep a tiny note saying how to turn them, so they still show the right way up. Keep color profile keeps the information that tells screens how to show the colors; it holds nothing about you, and turning it off can make some photos look duller.

Frequently asked questions

What is EXIF data?

Details your camera or phone stores inside each photo: often the exact place it was taken, the date and time, and the camera model, sometimes its serial number. Anyone who gets the file can read them.

Does removing it lower the quality?

No. The tool removes the data blocks and copies the image itself byte for byte, so the picture is exactly the same as before.

Do websites remove EXIF data anyway?

Some large social networks do, but many sites, chat apps sending files, email and cloud folders keep it. Removing it yourself before sharing is the only way to be sure.
