How to remove EXIF data from a photo

Choose photos, drag them onto the page or paste one (JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 50 at a time, 50 MB each).
See what each photo reveals: the camera, when it was taken, and its location if it has one. "All metadata" lists every tag.
Choose All metadata or Location only, then download. The file is named like IMG_1234-clean.jpg; several photos download together as a ZIP.

What is EXIF?

Phones and cameras hide extra details inside each photo: the make and model, the date and time, the settings, and often the exact GPS position where it was taken. Anyone you send the file to can read them.

Lossless: the picture isn't touched

The details are cut out of the file and the image data is copied byte for byte, so there's no re-compression and no loss of quality. After cleaning, each photo is read again to check that no location is left.

Good to know

Are my photos uploaded?

No. They're read and cleaned in your browser and never sent anywhere. No uploads, no sign-up, no file-count limits, no watermarks. The "Open in maps" link only opens OpenStreetMap if you click it.

Why are the rotation and colour profile kept?

Without the rotation tag, a phone photo can show sideways, so only that one tag is written back; it says nothing about you. The colour profile keeps colours looking the same.

What does "Location only" remove?

The GPS location, plus the XMP and IPTC details, because they often repeat the place (a city or the coordinates again). The camera, date and settings are kept.

Why does my phone photo lose its HDR effect?

Some phones store extra images after the main one, such as HDR gain maps or depth maps, and each can carry its own location. They are removed with the rest, so those photos look like ordinary photos afterwards.

Can I clean iPhone HEIC photos?

Not yet. On an iPhone, set Settings › Camera › Formats to "Most Compatible" to take JPEG photos, or share the photo as a JPEG.
