About Remove EXIF Data
Every photo your phone or camera takes is quietly tagged with EXIF metadata: the exact GPS coordinates where the shot was taken, the date and time, the camera or phone model, lens settings and sometimes an embedded thumbnail.
That information is genuinely useful in a photo library, but it is a real privacy leak the moment you post a picture online, email it, or send it to a stranger — anyone can read it with a free tool and learn where you live or work.
The Remove EXIF Data tool parses the JPEG byte-by-byte and deletes every APPn application segment and comment block that holds metadata, while copying the actual image scan data through untouched.
The result is the same picture, pixel-for-pixel, with the tracking information gone — usually a slightly smaller file too.
It tells you exactly how many metadata segments were removed and how many bytes that saved, so you can confirm the clean-up worked.
Because the whole operation happens inside your browser with no server involved, your private photos never leave your device — making this safe for sensitive images, client work or anything you would not want uploaded.
Drop in a JPEG and download the stripped version in a click.
FAQ
Does this change how my photo looks?
No. Only the metadata segments are removed; the image scan data is copied verbatim, so the picture is pixel-for-pixel identical.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
Never. The file is read and rewritten entirely in your browser, so the image and its location data stay on your device.
Why only JPEG files?
EXIF metadata lives in JPEG application segments. PNG and WebP store far less, and stripping JPEGs covers the privacy-sensitive case most people need.
