Remove EXIF / GPS metadata

Re-encode an image to remove EXIF, GPS, and other metadata.

Input and settings

How to use it

Save an image again as JPEG, PNG or WebP without carrying normal EXIF/GPS metadata into the new file. It is useful for creating a cleaner sharing copy of a photo before publishing it.

  1. Choose an image.
  2. Select JPEG, PNG or WebP and adjust quality when relevant.
  3. Open the saved file and check appearance, file size and transparency before using it.

Create a cleaner JPEG copy of a phone photo before posting it

Choose a travel photo and save a JPEG copy at a suitable quality such as 92. The new output is intended not to carry ordinary EXIF/GPS metadata; verify the image before publishing.

This is not a forensic certification that every possible embedded data structure has been removed. For regulated, confidential or evidentiary workflows, inspect the saved file with an independent metadata tool.

Useful for photos that may contain location data

Phone photos can include capture time, device information and GPS. Creating a separate sharing copy reduces the chance of publishing ordinary EXIF/GPS accidentally.

Changing format can also change image quality and size

JPEG and WebP quality settings affect compression. Even when metadata removal is the goal, inspect sharpness and artifacts in the saved result.

JPEG cannot preserve transparency

For logos or cut-out assets that need a transparent background, choose PNG or a suitable WebP output instead of JPEG.

Keep the original separately

Metadata can be useful later for organizing, editing or proving when a photo was captured. Avoid overwriting the only source copy.

Strict privacy workflows need independent verification

The tool creates a re-saved image without normal EXIF/GPS carryover, but high-assurance requirements should include a second metadata inspection step.
