Remove Image Metadata
This tool rebuilds the image from pixels into JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF so embedded EXIF and GPS are not copied into the download. Completeness depends on the chosen output format and browser pipeline.
Your image is processed locally in your browser and is never uploaded to our server.

Key benefits
Pixel rebuild
A new file is encoded from pixels so typical EXIF/GPS is not copied through.
Format choice
Pick a web-friendly output while you strip tags.
Private
Re-encoding stays on your device.
What this tool does and does not claim
Re-encoding from pixels removes typical camera EXIF and GPS from the new file. We do not claim absolute removal of every exotic chunk in every container.
Inspect first with Image Metadata if you want to see what was present before cleaning.
Combine with compression
After stripping tags, use the image compressor or JPG to WebP when you also need a smaller file for upload forms.
FAQ
Common questions
Is metadata always completely gone?
Re-encoding from pixels removes typical EXIF/GPS from the new file. We do not claim absolute removal for every exotic chunk type in every format.
Will quality change?
Lossy formats (JPG, WebP, AVIF) use your quality setting. PNG is lossless. Always preview if fidelity matters.
Are images uploaded?
No. Re-encoding runs locally.
Can I clean HEIC photos?
Convert HEIC to JPG or PNG first with the HEIC tools, then remove metadata on the converted file if needed.
