      EXIF Remover: Complete Privacy Guide

      Every photo you take contains hidden data—camera settings, timestamps, GPS coordinates, and more. This metadata can reveal where you live, work, and travel. Our tool lets you view, inspect, and remove this information before sharing files online.

      Privacy Alert: A single photo can contain your exact GPS coordinates, accurate to within a few meters. Social media may strip some metadata, but email, messaging apps, and direct sharing typically preserve it all.

      What is EXIF Data?

      EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard for storing metadata in image files. It was designed to help photographers track camera settings, but has grown to include much more:

      Technical Data

      • Camera make and model
      • Lens information
      • Shutter speed, aperture, ISO
      • Flash settings
      • Image dimensions and orientation

      Privacy-Sensitive Data

      • GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude)
      • Date and time of capture
      • Device serial numbers
      • Software used for editing
      • Thumbnail previews (may show original crop)
      Important: Even if you crop or edit a photo, the original thumbnail in EXIF data may still show the uncropped version. Always remove metadata before sharing sensitive images.

      Why Remove Metadata?

      Risk What Could Happen
      Location tracking Photos reveal your home address, workplace, vacation spots
      Stalking/harassment Bad actors can track your movements through photo timestamps and locations
      Device identification Serial numbers can link anonymous photos back to you
      Legal exposure Metadata can be used as evidence showing when/where photos were taken

      Supported File Types

      Images

      JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, GIF, AVIF

      Videos

      MP4, MOV

      Documents

      PDF (author, software, timestamps)

      You can process up to 20 files at once, each up to 50MB in size.

      How to Use This Tool

      1. Add files — Drop files or click SELECT FILES to choose up to 20 items
      2. Inspect — Click any thumbnail to view all metadata in a searchable table
      3. Search — Use the search box to find specific tags like "GPS" or "Date"
      4. Remove — Click REMOVE EXIF for one file or BULK REMOVE for all
      5. Save — Save cleaned files individually or all at once
      Pro Tip: Essential data like image orientation and color profiles are preserved. Your photos will display correctly after metadata removal.

      What Gets Removed vs. Preserved

      Removed Preserved
      GPS coordinates Image orientation
      Camera/device info Color profile (sRGB, etc.)
      Timestamps Image dimensions
      Thumbnails Actual image data
      Software tags Transparency (PNG)

      Your Privacy is Guaranteed

      This tool processes everything locally in your browser:

      • No uploads — Files never leave your device
      • No servers — All processing uses local WebAssembly
      • No tracking — We can't see what files you process
      • No accounts — Just open and use, nothing to sign up for

      Ironically, a privacy tool that uploads your files would defeat its own purpose. That's why we built this to run entirely in your browser.
