About EXIF & Metadata Remover
Photos taken on phones and cameras usually contain EXIF metadata: the exact GPS coordinates where the picture was taken, the device model, timestamps and sometimes the owner's name. Sharing such files publicly can reveal your home address or workplace without you realising.
This tool reads and displays the metadata it can find, then re-encodes the image through a canvas so the output contains only pixel data and none of the original EXIF tags. The cleaned image looks identical, and because the process runs locally the original file and its metadata never leave your device.

Frequently Asked Questions
What EXIF data can reveal about me?
A phone photo can contain precise GPS latitude and longitude, the capture date and time, the device make and model, and sometimes software or owner fields. GPS is the most sensitive because it can pinpoint where a photo was taken, including your home.
Does removing metadata change how the photo looks?
No. Only the metadata tags are discarded; the pixels are re-encoded unchanged, so the image looks the same. Some editors also apply EXIF orientation automatically, which the canvas already accounts for.
Are my photos uploaded to clean the metadata?
Never. The tool reads the file and re-encodes it entirely in your browser, so the original photo, including its GPS data, stays on your device throughout the process.
