EXIF Data Remover

An EXIF data remover strips the hidden metadata that cameras and phones embed in photos — including GPS coordinates, device model, and the date and time a picture was taken. Add several photos and it re-encodes each on the Canvas API to produce clean copies with that metadata removed, ready to download individually or as a ZIP.

How to Use the EXIF Data Remover

  1. Select the photo you want to clean.
  2. The tool re-encodes the image, discarding embedded metadata.
  3. A new, metadata-free copy is generated.
  4. Download the cleaned image.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EXIF data?

EXIF is metadata stored inside image files. It can include GPS location, camera and lens details, exposure settings and the exact date and time — information you may not want to share publicly.

How does removing it work?

The image is redrawn onto a canvas and re-exported. Because the canvas export only writes pixel data, the original EXIF metadata is left behind and does not appear in the new file.

Does it change how my photo looks?

No visible change — only the hidden metadata is removed. Note that re-encoding a JPG applies compression, which you can consider a minor trade-off for privacy.
