Frequently Asked Questions

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata your camera or phone embeds in each photo — the date and time, camera and lens model, exposure settings, and often the exact GPS coordinates where the photo was taken. It travels with the file whenever you share it.
Mainly for privacy. A geotagged photo can reveal your home, workplace, or routine to anyone you send it to or post it publicly. Removing metadata before sharing protects your location and personal information. It also slightly reduces file size.
No. The photo is read and cleaned entirely in your browser using the FileReader and Canvas APIs. Nothing is sent to a server — which is essential, because you should never upload a private photo to a website just to strip its metadata.
The tool re-encodes your image through an HTML canvas, producing a new file that contains only the pixels — no EXIF, no GPS, no embedded thumbnail. The image looks identical; only the hidden metadata is gone.
For PNG and WebP, removal is lossless. For JPG, the image is re-saved at high quality (about 92%), which is visually indistinguishable for almost all uses. If you need a byte-for-byte original, keep a copy before cleaning.

What Is EXIF Data — and Why Remove It?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) metadata is hidden information your camera or phone embeds in every photo: the exact date and time, camera and lens model, exposure settings, and — most importantly — the precise GPS coordinates where the photo was taken. When you share that photo online or send it to someone, all of that travels with it. Removing it protects your privacy and your location.

The Location Risk

A single geotagged photo can reveal your home address, your workplace, or your child's school. Photographers, journalists, activists, and anyone selling items online have real reasons to strip GPS data before publishing. This tool flags GPS coordinates prominently so you can see exactly what a photo is exposing before you share it.

Why This Tool Is Private by Design

You would never upload a sensitive personal photo to a random website just to clean it — that defeats the purpose. This tool reads and strips metadata entirely in your browser using the FileReader and Canvas APIs. Your photo is never sent to a server, which is the only way a privacy tool like this should work.

How Removal Works

To strip metadata, the tool re-encodes your image through an HTML canvas, which produces a fresh file containing only the pixels — no EXIF, no GPS, no embedded thumbnail. The visual content is identical; only the hidden metadata is gone. JPG, PNG, and WebP files can be cleaned this way.
