Private browser-based metadata removal

Remove Metadata from Images

Remove most EXIF and embedded metadata from JPG and PNG images before sharing them online. Images are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to our server.

Drop images here JPG and PNG files are supported. You can process up to 50 images at a time.

What this removes

The tool re-saves images to remove most embedded metadata. For JPG files, it can strip EXIF data. For PNG files, it re-encodes the image to remove common metadata chunks.

Some files are already optimized. If a processed file becomes larger, use the Compress tool afterward to compare smaller output formats.

Why remove image metadata?

Image metadata can include camera details, editing software information, timestamps, and in some cases location-related data. Removing metadata before uploading or sharing images can improve privacy.
