About The EXIF Metadata Remover

The EXIF Metadata Remover creates a clean copy of an image by drawing the pixels to a canvas and exporting a new file. This removes common embedded metadata such as camera details, software tags, thumbnails, and location information that may be present in the original file.

Metadata removal runs locally in your browser by re-encoding the visible pixels. The original file stays unchanged, and the cleaned output downloads as a separate image.

How to Remove EXIF Metadata Online

1. Choose a PNG, JPG, WEBP, BMP, or GIF image.
2. Open more options to choose output format and quality.
3. Remove metadata by creating a clean re-encoded image.
4. Review the preview and download the cleaned copy.

Choosing Options Correctly

Output format:
Use same-as-source for a simple cleaned copy, WEBP/JPEG for smaller files, and PNG when lossless pixels or transparency matter.

Quality:
Quality affects JPEG and WEBP output. Re-encoding can change file size, color handling, compression artifacts, or animation behavior.

Common Use Cases

• Cleaning photos before publishing them online or attaching them to public documents.
• Removing location and camera metadata from images before sharing.
• Creating a metadata-light copy for tickets, documentation, or website uploads.

Quick FAQ

Does this guarantee every possible metadata field is removed?
No. Re-encoding removes common image metadata, but unusual embedded data or format-specific chunks should be checked if privacy is critical.

Can the output look different?
Yes. Re-encoding can slightly change compression, color, or file size.

Will the original file be changed?
No. The cleaned image is a new file.

Is the image uploaded?
No. Metadata removal is designed to run locally in the browser.
