Remove EXIF Metadata
JPEG photos contain hidden EXIF data — GPS coordinates, camera make and model, timestamps, lens info, and more. This tool strips all EXIF segments from your photo before you share it, protecting your location and privacy.
| EXIF Field | What It Exposes | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| GPS Latitude/Longitude | Exact location photo was taken | High |
| GPS Altitude | Floor level, building height | High |
| DateTime Original | Exact date and time of photo | Medium |
| Camera Make / Model | Device fingerprinting | Medium |
| Software | OS version, editing apps used | Low |
| Thumbnail | Embedded miniature of original (pre-edit) | Medium |
When to Remove EXIF
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EXIF data?
EXIF data is metadata embedded in photo files. It can include GPS coordinates, camera model, shooting timestamp, and device identifiers that reveal your location and identity.
Is this tool safe to use?
Completely. The tool strips EXIF data locally in your browser. Your photo is never uploaded to any server.
Will removing EXIF reduce image quality?
No. EXIF is metadata stored separately from pixel data. Removing it has zero effect on image quality.
Does this work on PNG files?
The tool targets JPEG files, which are the main format carrying sensitive EXIF. PNG metadata is stored differently and typically contains less sensitive data.
