How to use Image Metadata Remover
Image Metadata Remover rebuilds a selected image without its original EXIF, GPS, camera, comment, and application metadata. It is useful before sharing a photograph when embedded details are unnecessary.
Step by step
- Choose an image and select an output format.
- Remove metadata to create a newly encoded file.
- Preview the result, download it, and verify metadata with a separate trusted inspector when privacy is critical.
Example
Input
JPEG containing camera and location EXIFResult
A newly encoded JPEG, PNG, or WebP without the original metadata blocksHow it works
Only decoded pixels are drawn to a new Canvas. The browser then creates a new file from those pixels instead of copying the source metadata container.
Important limitations
- Animation, embedded color profiles, orientation tags, and other non-pixel properties may be lost or normalized.
- The tool cannot remove information visibly present in the pixels, such as faces, signs, or a photographed address.
Frequently asked questions
Does this guarantee anonymous sharing?
No. It removes embedded metadata, but the image content, filename, account, and sharing service can still reveal information.
Why can file size change?
The result is newly encoded, so compression settings and container overhead differ from the original.
