See Exportlab securityWhy remove EXIF metadata from photos
Every photo carries hidden EXIF metadata — the exact GPS coordinates where it was taken, the camera and lens, the date and time, and sometimes serial numbers. Posting a photo online can quietly expose your home address or a client's location. This tool strips all of it by re-drawing the image on a canvas and re-encoding it, so the file you download contains pixels only.
Drop in your photos, hit clean, and download metadata-free copies. Everything happens in your browser — the images are never uploaded, so even sensitive photos stay private.

Frequently asked questions
- What is EXIF data?
- EXIF is hidden metadata embedded in photos: GPS location, camera and lens model, date/time, exposure settings and sometimes device serial numbers.
- How does removing it work?
- The tool redraws your image onto a canvas and re-encodes it. The new file contains only pixels — no EXIF, GPS or camera data survives.
- Are my photos uploaded?
- No. All processing happens in your browser on your device. Nothing is sent to a server, so even sensitive images stay private.
- Does it change the image?
- The photo is re-encoded at high quality, so it looks the same. Only the hidden metadata is removed.
- Is it free?
- Completely free, no signup and no watermark. Built by Exportlab, the media platform for photographers and videographers.
