What EXIF data is
Most photos carry hidden details, called metadata, saved by the camera or phone when the picture was taken: the model, the date and time, settings such as exposure, sometimes a small preview image, and often the exact GPS location. Editing apps add notes of their own, in formats called XMP and IPTC, and comments. Anyone you send the original file to can read all of it.
How to remove it
- Choose up to 30 photos, each up to 50 MB: JPG, PNG or WebP.
- Press Remove metadata.
- Each result lists what was removed, such as “Removed: EXIF, GPS location, XMP”, or says the file had none. Download the clean copies one by one, or all together as a ZIP.
The picture isn’t touched
Re-saving a photo in an editing app compresses it again. This tool doesn’t: it removes the blocks of hidden data and leaves the picture data byte for byte as it was. Quality can’t change, and the file gets a little smaller.
What it keeps, and why
Two things stay, because without them the photo would look wrong:
- The color profile, which keeps colors the way the camera meant them.
- Which way is up. Phones often store a photo sideways with a note to turn it. The tool keeps a tiny note holding only that, so the photo still shows upright. It contains nothing else: no date, no camera, no place.
Formats
JPG, PNG and WebP are cleaned without being re-saved. In a JPG, anything stored after the end of the picture is removed too; some phones keep extra images there, such as depth maps. Other formats, including AVIF and the iPhone’s HEIC, aren’t supported here, and the tool says so rather than guessing. If you choose photos from an iPhone’s photo library, Safari normally passes the page JPG versions, and those work.
Checking the result
On Windows, right-click the clean copy, choose Properties, then the Details tab: the camera, date taken and GPS fields should be empty. On a Mac, open it in Preview and choose Tools, then Show Inspector. If you also want a smaller file or a different size in pixels, the Image Compressor and the Image Resizer leave the hidden details out of their copies as well.
