Camera and device
Make, model, lens and exposure fields can describe how a photo was captured.
Private EXIF remover
Remove EXIF metadata online without handing over your photo.
Inspect hidden camera, date, device, software and location fields, then remove supported metadata from JPEG, PNG or WebP files in your browser. Safe mode keeps supported orientation and color-behavior data when it matters to how the image displays.

No upload required
Inspect first. Clean only the copy you choose.
Start with one image in Standard mode, or open Inspector & batch to review detected fields and choose a cleaning level.
Inside an image
EXIF can reveal more context than the pixels do.
Time and location
Capture dates and GPS coordinates may expose when and where a file was created.
Software and authorship
Editor names, creator fields and related XMP data can document parts of a workflow.
How it works
A safer three-step check before sharing.
- Select a JPEG, PNG or WebP image you own or are allowed to process.
- Review the detected fields, then use Safe Clean for a conservative privacy pass.
- Download the cleaned copy and keep the original when capture history may matter later.
Choose with context
Not every metadata field is disposable.
- Usually privacy-sensitive GPS coordinates, serial-like device values, personal creator fields and precise timestamps.
- Useful for workflows Copyright, authorship and edit-history fields can be valuable in professional archives.
- May affect display Orientation and color profile data can influence how software presents the pixels.
A clean EXIF report is not complete anonymity.
Metadata removal does not blur faces, addresses, landmarks or other clues visible in the image. It also does not erase copies already uploaded elsewhere. Review the picture itself and its file name before publishing sensitive material.
EXIF FAQ
Questions before you clean.
What does the EXIF remover delete?
It removes supported EXIF and related metadata blocks that may contain camera or device details, capture dates, software names and location fields. The exact fields depend on the file. Safe mode preserves supported visual-behavior data such as orientation.
Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?
The JPEG, PNG and WebP cleaner removes supported metadata at segment or chunk level instead of redrawing the pixels, so the standard flow does not re-compress the image. Removing orientation can change how some viewers display a photo, which is why Safe mode protects it.
Is my photo uploaded to remove EXIF?
No. Inspection and cleaning run locally in browser memory for supported files. Your selected image is not sent to Metadata Cleaner.
