Image Metadata Remover
Strip GPS, device, camera, and date metadata before you share an image.
Most photos taken on a phone or camera carry hidden metadata: the exact GPS coordinates where the photo was taken, the device model, the date and time down to the second, and sometimes editing software history. This data travels invisibly with the image file wherever it’s shared. Image Metadata Remover strips all of it out before you post or send a photo, leaving the visible image untouched.
Why Use This Tool
Metadata removal exists specifically to protect privacy, which makes it an especially poor fit for a tool that uploads your photo to a server first — you’d be handing over the exact location and device data you’re trying to strip, plus a raw copy of the photo itself, to a company you have no relationship with. Doing this in the browser means the original, metadata-intact photo is never transmitted anywhere; only the cleaned version you choose to download exists outside your device.
How It Works (Expanded)
Upload the photo and the tool reads and displays the embedded metadata — GPS coordinates, camera make and model, timestamp, and any software tags — so you can see exactly what was hidden in the file before removing it. Downloading the cleaned image strips all of that data while leaving the visible photo pixel-for-pixel identical.
Common Use Cases
Common reasons to strip metadata: posting a photo publicly without revealing your home address via embedded GPS coordinates, sharing a photo with a stranger (marketplace sale, dating app) without exposing your device details, sending a work photo without leaking internal timestamps, or cleaning a batch of images before uploading them to a public portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will removing metadata change how the photo looks?
No. Only the hidden data is removed — the visible image is unchanged.
What metadata gets removed exactly?
GPS location, camera/device information, date and time stamps, and other EXIF tags embedded in the file.
Is my photo uploaded before the metadata is stripped?
No. The entire process runs locally in your browser.
Does this work for screenshots too?
Screenshots typically carry little or no metadata already, but running them through the tool is still a useful final check.
