Remove EXIF and GPS Metadata from Images
Photos can reveal more than you think. EXIF metadata may include where the photo was taken, which device captured it, and when it happened.
This page helps you remove hidden image metadata before posting to social media, sharing with clients, or publishing files in public repositories.

Common EXIF fields removed
Hidden image metadata can expose your location history and hardware details. The scrubber removes common fields to make sharing safer.
Location + device
- GPS latitude and longitude
- Camera model, lens, and serial
- Capture time and timezone
Authorship + software
- Author name and copyright
- Editing software and version
- File comments and notes
Field availability varies by camera and app. If metadata exists in the file, the scrubber removes it as part of cleanup.
How to remove EXIF metadata
- Select your photo files.
- Run metadata removal in the browser.
- Download the cleaned images.
- Share the cleaned copies and archive originals separately if needed.
- Repeat after editing exports, since some apps write new metadata.
Limits and edge cases
Visible details remain visible
Metadata cleaning does not remove visible content like house numbers, faces, or landmarks inside the image itself.
Screenshots and edited exports differ
Some screenshots contain less metadata than camera originals, while edited exports may add app metadata. Clean final versions before sharing.
Privacy guarantee
Files are processed locally in your browser. No uploads, no handoff to a remote processing service, and no server-side copy of your photos.
