How to remove EXIF metadata from a photo
- Add a JPG, PNG, or WebP photo.
- Review any metadata found (camera, GPS location, date/time).
- Select Remove metadata & download.
How this works
Your browser reads the photo's EXIF segment directly to show you what's there, then re-encodes the image from scratch via canvas — which does not carry over any metadata — to produce a clean copy. No file is uploaded, and no server-side processing is involved.
Why remove EXIF data?
Many phones and cameras embed the exact GPS coordinates, device model, and timestamp of a photo. Most social platforms don't strip this automatically, so privacy guides commonly recommend removing it yourself before posting photos publicly.
Common use cases
- Strip GPS location and camera details before posting a photo publicly
- Check what metadata a photo contains before sharing it
- Remove identifying camera/device info from an image
Frequently asked questions
Is this EXIF remover free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no signup and no limits.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to Inqita or stored.
Does this remove GPS location data?
Yes. Re-encoding the image via canvas removes all EXIF metadata, including GPS coordinates, camera model, and timestamps.
Does this work on PNG or WebP files?
You can upload PNG or WebP files and they'll be cleaned the same way, though EXIF metadata is far more commonly found in JPEG photos from phones and cameras.
Will the photo quality change?
The image is re-encoded, so there may be a very small, generally unnoticeable quality change for JPEG output; PNG output stays lossless.
