What is Image Metadata?
Digital images contain hidden metadata (EXIF data) including GPS coordinates, camera model, date/time, lens settings, and sometimes even your name. When you share photos online, this data can reveal your location and personal information. This tool strips all metadata by re-encoding the image through a clean canvas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is EXIF data in photos?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data is metadata embedded in image files by cameras and phones. It can include GPS coordinates, camera model, lens settings, date and time the photo was taken, and even the photographer's name.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
No. EXIF metadata is completely separate from the image pixel data. Stripping it does not change the visual quality, resolution, or file integrity of the image in any way.
Is my photo uploaded to your server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your images are processed locally on your device using the browser's built-in APIs — nothing is ever sent to any server.
Why should I remove metadata before sharing photos?
Photos shared online can contain GPS coordinates revealing your home or workplace, your camera's serial number, timestamps, and other personal details. Removing metadata protects your privacy and prevents unintentional location tracking.
