Privacy: EXIF removal runs locally in your browser. No image data is stored or transmitted.

How it works

This tool uses a browser-side re-encoding workflow:

  • Step 1: load the selected image locally
  • Step 2: draw the decoded pixels onto a canvas
  • Step 3: export a fresh image file from the canvas
  • Result: the new file does not contain the original embedded EXIF/metadata blocks

This is the standard browser-only method for creating a metadata-cleaned image without uploading the source file.

Examples

  • Remove camera and location metadata before sharing a photo
  • Create a privacy-clean version of a JPEG for the web
  • Re-export a PNG or WebP without original metadata baggage

FAQ

  • What does this EXIF remover do?

    It removes common embedded image metadata by re-encoding the selected image locally in your browser.

  • Does it upload my image?

    No. Processing happens locally in the browser and the selected file is not uploaded or transmitted by this page.

  • Which formats are supported?

    This tool accepts JPEG, PNG, and WebP images that can be decoded by the browser and re-exports them as JPEG, PNG, or WebP.

  • Will the image quality change?

    PNG output is lossless. JPEG and WebP are re-encoded and may change in size or quality depending on the selected quality setting.

  • Does this remove metadata from the output file?

    Yes. The standard browser-side approach is to decode the image pixels and export a fresh file from canvas, which removes the original embedded metadata blocks.
