Free Remove Image EXIF & Metadata Online - Privacy Tool
Remove Image Metadata (EXIF) Free — Strip GPS and Personal Data
Every photo taken with a smartphone contains hidden metadata: GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken, the exact date and time, your device model, and sometimes your name. This data travels with the image when you share it online. Our free EXIF metadata remover strips all metadata from your photos instantly, in your browser — your location data never leaves your device.
What Metadata Your Photos Contain
GPS location: The exact latitude and longitude of where the photo was taken — often accurate to within 10 meters. Date and time: Precise timestamp down to the second. Device information: Camera make, model, and serial number. Software: Editing software used, sometimes including version numbers. Orientation and settings: Aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length.
Why You Should Remove Metadata Before Sharing
Photos shared on social media, dating apps, classifieds, and messaging apps can expose your home address if the GPS data is still attached. A photo taken at home contains the home GPS coordinates. Most major platforms strip metadata on upload — but not all, and some messaging apps preserve it. Removing metadata yourself guarantees privacy regardless of the platform.
Runs Locally — Your Location Never Leaves Your Device
Metadata removal runs entirely in your browser. Your photos and the location data in them are never sent to any server. Free, unlimited, no account required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata does this tool remove?
All EXIF data including GPS coordinates, date/time, camera make and model, lens information, exposure settings, and software information. The image pixels and visual content are unchanged.
Do social media platforms already strip metadata?
Most do — Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter remove EXIF data on upload. However, some platforms (certain messaging apps, file sharing services) preserve metadata. Removing it yourself before sharing ensures privacy regardless of the platform.
Does removing metadata change how the image looks?
No. Metadata removal does not affect the image pixels, dimensions, or visual quality in any way. The file size decreases slightly.
