Why you may need this tool

Photos can contain metadata (EXIF) that is not visible in the image itself. Depending on the device and settings, metadata can include capture time, device model, and sometimes location information. When sharing photos publicly or across teams, removing unnecessary metadata reduces unintended information exposure. EXIF removal keeps the visual content while stripping extra data that may not be relevant to the recipient.

How to use

Upload the image, remove metadata, and then use the cleaned file for sharing or publishing.

Upload an image (JPG/PNG/WebP)
Click 'Remove metadata'
Download the cleaned image

Examples

Preparing photos for public posts

Public posts can reach broader audiences than expected. Removing EXIF metadata helps reduce exposure of capture details that are not needed for the content.

Sharing work images with only the necessary content

When images are shared for review, metadata is rarely required. Stripping it keeps the file focused on the visual information and reduces privacy concerns.

Benefits & differentiators

Removing metadata helps protect privacy, especially when photos are posted to public channels. It also simplifies asset handling by producing a file that contains only what most workflows need: the pixels. In some cases, removing metadata can slightly reduce file size, but the main benefit is reducing unintentional information leakage.

Who this is for

Recommended if you: - publish photos to public sites or communities - want to reduce exposure of capture/location details - share images across teams and clients - prefer sanitized assets for archiving and reuse
