How to use Remove Image Metadata

Create re-encoded image copies without original EXIF fields.

By ToolMallow · Documentation updated · Editorial approach

  1. Choose JPEG, PNG, or WebP images and select an output format. The tool draws visible pixels into a new image instead of copying the source EXIF block.
  2. Process the selected files, then inspect the preview, dimensions or warnings.
  3. Download a new copy and check it before replacing or sharing the original.

How processing works

Visible pixels are drawn into a new image and re-encoded. The source EXIF block is not copied into the sharing copy. This is not a forensic privacy certification.

A quick example

Create a sharing copy without copying the original camera and location EXIF fields.

Assumptions, edge cases & limits

  • Visible faces, addresses, reflections and screenshots remain in the picture.
  • Re-encoding may change color profiles, quality, size or orientation handling.
  • Re-encoding may change quality, color profiles, orientation handling, and file size. It cannot remove information visible in the picture itself.

Questions about Remove Image Metadata

Does this remove GPS EXIF from a photo?

The newly encoded output does not copy the source EXIF fields, including original GPS metadata. Check the downloaded copy with a metadata viewer before sensitive sharing.

Does removing EXIF make a photo anonymous?

No. The image itself can reveal identity or location, and a filename or the service you share through can add context. Review both the visible content and the sharing workflow.

Are my files or inputs uploaded?

Calculation and file processing run in your browser without a processing upload. Downloads go to your device. Choosing a next-step transfer creates a temporary local copy for that workflow. Region preferences are stored separately from tool inputs. See our privacy details.

Can I use this tool for free?

Yes. No signup, subscription or payment is required to use the tool or download its output. File tools have device and size limits; a smaller batch may work better on a phone.
