Why remove EXIF data?

Photos from phones and cameras often contain EXIF metadata: the exact GPS location, the date and time, and the device used. When you share an original file by email, in a chat as a document or on a website, anyone can read those details.

The EXIF remover deletes that information. For JPG and PNG files it removes only the metadata sections, so the picture itself isn't re-compressed and looks exactly the same. Photos stay the right way up. Everything happens in your browser, so your images are never uploaded.

Questions

Does removing EXIF data reduce image quality?

Not for JPG and PNG. Only the metadata sections are removed and the image data is left untouched. Other formats are saved again at high quality.

What exactly is removed?

EXIF (camera, settings, dates, GPS), XMP and IPTC data (captions, keywords, copyright, editing history), comments, and embedded thumbnails. The colour profile is kept so colours look the same.

Will my photo appear rotated afterwards?

No. If a photo relies on the EXIF orientation tag, the rotation is applied to the pixels first, so it still appears the right way up.

Do social media sites remove EXIF data?

Most big platforms remove location data from public posts, but files sent by email, cloud links, some chat apps and many websites keep it. Removing it yourself is the safe option.

How can I check that the metadata is gone?

Open the new file in our image metadata viewer.
