Does it remove GPS location?

Yes. The new image is created from visible pixels, so the original GPS metadata block is not copied.

Will removing metadata reduce image quality?

PNG remains lossless. JPEG and WebP are re-encoded at high quality, so a small compression difference is possible.

Does it remove visible private information?

No. Text, faces, license plates, and other details visible in the pixels remain. Use a separate editing tool to remove them.

Remove hidden photo data before you share

Create a clean JPG, PNG, or WebP copy in your browser. The pixels are re-encoded without the original EXIF, GPS, IPTC, or XMP blocks, and the file never uploads.

What the clean copy removes

The browser draws the visible image pixels onto a new canvas, then exports a new image without copying the original metadata blocks.

Location data: Embedded GPS coordinates and altitude from the original file are not copied.
Camera details: Camera, lens, exposure, timestamp, and software tags are not copied.
Editorial metadata: Original IPTC and XMP fields such as creator, caption, and workflow notes are not copied.
Visible pixels remain: The visible image is retained at its original dimensions, then re-encoded in the same supported format.

Remove photo metadata in three steps

No account or upload is needed.

1
Choose a photo
Select a supported file from this device.
2
Create a clean copy
Your browser decodes the visible pixels and re-encodes them without the original metadata.
3
Download and verify
Save the new file, then use the metadata viewer if you want to inspect the result.

What changes when metadata is removed

The clean copy is a new encoded image, not a byte-for-byte clone.

JPEG and WebP compression may change the file size and introduce a small visual difference.
Animated images, HEIC, RAW, SVG, and files above 20 MB are not supported by this browser tool.
Visible information inside the pixels, such as a street sign or face, is not metadata and will remain visible.
