Metadata Delete

Remove metadata and location from your photos

Photos carry GPS coordinates and camera serial numbers. Documents carry author names, company names, comments and edit history. This tool finds it and removes it.

Your files never leave your device. Everything happens inside this browser tab. There is no server to upload to. Once the page has loaded you can switch off your Wi-Fi and it still works. The cleaned copy is a brand-new file, so it also leaves behind what your computer stores alongside the original, like where it was downloaded from.

    Drop your photo above and it is cleaned on your own device. Nothing is uploaded.

    Almost every photo from a phone or camera carries EXIF data: the make and model of the camera, the date and time it was taken, often the exact GPS spot where you stood, a small embedded thumbnail and sometimes a serial number. Many photos also carry XMP, IPTC, comments, Photoshop data and edit history. All of it is removed.

    If your photo has a location, you will see it on a small map before cleaning, so you know what you were about to share.

    The picture itself is not touched. Photos are not re-compressed, so the pixels are identical and the quality is unchanged. A rotated photo keeps only its rotation flag, so it still displays the right way up; the flag reveals nothing about you. Colour profiles that name your device, such as a Mac screenshot naming the display it was taken on, have the name and device details blanked, and the colours stay the same.

    You can also tick "Remove dates from file names", which turns "Screenshot 2026-11-07 at 23.54.36.png" into "screenshot.png".

    Works with JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF and other formats. Each cleaned file is checked again for anything left behind.
