About the Remove EXIF Data
Remove EXIF Data cleans the hidden information out of your photos. Photos taken with a phone or camera carry EXIF metadata: the GPS location where you took them, the date and time, the camera or phone model, the editing software and sometimes a thumbnail. Drop in one photo or many and this page draws each picture again onto a clean canvas, so none of that data is copied into the new file, and tells you whether it found EXIF data and GPS location in the original. You choose the format and quality, download them one by one or as a ZIP and nothing is uploaded.

What your photos can reveal
A single phone photo can contain latitude and longitude accurate to a few metres, the exact time and the model of the phone. Sharing it as a file, for example by email or in a message, may pass all of that to the receiver. For pictures of your home, children or valuables, remove the data first.
When to clean photos
Clean photos before you send them to strangers, post them on a forum, a classified ad or a marketplace, publish them on a blog or submit them with a form. Social networks usually remove most EXIF data from the public copy, but messaging apps and file links may keep it.
- Classified ads and marketplace listings
- Blog and website images
- Photos sent as files by email or cloud link
- Pictures of your home or children
Check the result
The note on each photo says whether EXIF data and GPS were found. To double check, open the clean file in the EXIF Data Viewer and see that no location is left. Keep your originals safe if you may need the data later.

Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data?
Information that cameras and phones store inside a photo file: the time and date, the device, the settings and often the GPS position where it was taken.
Why remove it?
Privacy. A photo posted online can reveal where you live, work or travel, and who took it. Many sites strip metadata, but not all, and emails and cloud links often keep it.
How does the tool remove it?
It draws the picture onto a new canvas and saves that as a new file. Only the pixels are copied, so the metadata does not go with them.
Will the picture quality change?
JPG and WebP are saved again at the quality you choose, so a very small loss is possible. Use a high quality, or choose PNG for a lossless copy.
Does it remove the photo orientation?
The picture is saved the right way up. The visible result looks the same as the original.
Can I remove only the GPS and keep the rest?
No. This tool removes everything. It gives the cleanest and safest result.
Does it work for PNG and WebP?
Yes. They are redrawn in the same way. Those formats often have less metadata, but some programs add text chunks.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything happens on your device, so your private photos stay private.
