EXIF Remover
Select a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image, remove its embedded metadata by re-exporting it locally, compare the result, and download the cleaned file.
Select a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image. The tool decodes the image and exports a new file locally, which removes the original metadata in the output.
PNG is lossless. JPEG and WebP use the selected quality level.
Current quality: 0.92

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.
