Remove metadata from photos without uploading it

Strip the location and camera data out of a photo - here in this tab, with nothing uploaded.

How to remove metadata from photos

  1. Drop your photos in.
  2. Check what they carry.
  3. Download the clean copies - the picture itself is untouched.

Why this one stays private

Removing a photo's location is something you do because you are about to share it with people you do not fully trust. Sending it to another website first, to have the location taken out, defeats the point. This does it in your browser.

Questions

Does removing EXIF data reduce quality?

No. The picture is not decoded or re-compressed: the metadata blocks are cut out and the image data is copied across byte for byte. Most other removers re-save the photo, which costs a little quality every time.

What exactly is removed?

EXIF (location, dates, camera and serial number), XMP, IPTC captions and credits, comments, the embedded thumbnail and anything tacked on after the image. The colour profile is kept, because without it colours shift.

Will my photo come out sideways?

No. The orientation flag is the one piece of EXIF that is about the picture rather than about you, so it is written back on its own.

How do I know it worked?

The clean copy is read back with the same reader that found the metadata in the first place, and the page shows you what, if anything, is left.
