Remove EXIF metadata: complete guide to protect your privacy

When you share a photo, you can share more than the image itself. JPG, PNG, and WebP files may contain EXIF metadata such as GPS location, device model, exact date/time, orientation, and camera settings. This online EXIF cleaner removes that data by re-encoding the image. You keep the visual result while reducing sensitive information before publishing.

This is useful for individuals, freelancers, agencies, e-commerce teams, and content creators. If you publish product photos, location pictures, field snapshots, or social media visuals, removing metadata lowers privacy risk. It is also a good compliance habit for organizations handling user-uploaded media.

The tool supports common formats: JPEG, PNG, and WebP. You can keep the original format or convert to another one, then adjust quality for smaller file size or better visual fidelity. Processing is fast and direct: upload, clean, and download in seconds.

How To Remove EXIF Metadata

  1. Upload your image (JPEG, PNG, or WebP).
  2. Choose the output format and quality level.
  3. Click "Clean and Download" to process the file on our server.
  4. Download the metadata-free image — your link stays valid for 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my photo processed locally or on a server?

Your image is uploaded and processed on our server, not in your browser. This lets us fully re-encode the file, the most reliable way to strip EXIF metadata regardless of your device.

Are my photos stored, and for how long?

The cleaned file is kept on our server only long enough for you to download it: 10 minutes after processing. After that it is automatically and permanently deleted. We do not keep copies, backups, or logs of your images.

How do I remove EXIF metadata from an iPhone or Android photo?

Upload the image, choose an output format and click "Clean and Download". Re-encoding removes EXIF fields such as GPS location, device model, and timestamps, no app installation needed.

Does this tool remove GPS location data too?

Yes. GPS coordinates are stored as EXIF fields and are removed along with the device model, capture date/time, and other metadata when the image is re-encoded.

Which formats are supported, and can I convert between them?

JPEG, PNG, and WebP are supported. You can keep the original format or convert to a different one, and adjust the output quality to balance file size and visual fidelity.

Is this tool free?

Yes, it is completely free, with no account, sign-up, or watermark.

Can I clean metadata for multiple images at once?

This page processes one file at a time. For several images, repeat the upload-clean-download flow for each one.
