Free Online EXIF Data Remover

What is EXIF Remover?

EXIF Remover strips hidden metadata from your photos before you share them online. Every photo taken with a smartphone or digital camera contains invisible data called EXIF - including your GPS location, camera model, date and time, and sometimes even your name. This tool removes all that data to protect your privacy.

Why Would You Need to Remove EXIF Data?

Here are situations where removing photo metadata is important:

• Protect your home location: Photos taken at home contain GPS coordinates that reveal exactly where you live. Remove them before posting online.
• Hide your travel patterns: Vacation photos show where and when you were away from home - valuable information for burglars.
• Maintain anonymity: Camera serial numbers and device info can be used to link photos back to you.
• Sell photos safely: Remove personal data before selling or licensing your photography.
• Professional privacy: Journalists, activists, and whistleblowers need to share images without revealing sources.

How to Remove EXIF Data - Step by Step

1. Upload your image: Drag and drop your photo into the upload area, or click to browse. We support JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF files up to 20MB.
2. Review the metadata: See exactly what data is embedded in your image. Privacy-sensitive data (GPS, camera info, dates) is highlighted in red.
3. Choose output quality: Select the image quality for your cleaned file. 90% is recommended for the best balance.
4. Click Remove All Metadata: We strip all EXIF data from your image.
5. Download your clean image: Get your photo with all metadata removed. The image looks identical, but contains no hidden data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will removing EXIF data change how my photo looks?

No. EXIF data is invisible metadata stored alongside the image. Removing it doesn't affect the actual picture - colors, quality, and composition remain exactly the same.

Do all photos contain EXIF data?

Most photos from smartphones and digital cameras contain EXIF data. Screenshots, images from the web, and some edited photos may not have EXIF data. Our tool will tell you if no metadata is found.

Is my photo safe when I upload it?

Yes. Your image is processed securely on our servers and automatically deleted after you download the clean version. We never store, share, or access your photos beyond the processing needed to remove metadata.

Why should I care about photo metadata?

Metadata can reveal more than you realize. A single photo can expose your home address, daily routine, device information, and even your name. Removing it before sharing online is a simple privacy protection.
