What a photo can say about you
Most phones save details inside every photo: where it was taken, when, and on which device. Editing apps add their name and sometimes a list of changes. AI image tools may add a label that says the image was generated, and some add signed Content Credentials (C2PA).
When you send the file itself, by email, as a document in a chat or by uploading it to a website, these details usually go with it.
What this tool removes
It removes EXIF data (GPS location, dates, camera and lens, serial numbers and the hidden thumbnail), XMP data (editing history and AI labels), IPTC captions, comments, Content Credentials and any extra data stored after the image.
The picture itself stays exactly as it was. The image data is copied as it is, not saved again, so nothing is lost in quality. The colour profile and the rotation stay too, so the photo looks the same.
Your photo stays on your device
The tool runs in your browser. The photo is read and cleaned on your device and is never sent to us or anyone else. Once this page has loaded, it works even without an internet connection.
Frequently asked questions
Does this remove the location from a photo?
Yes. The GPS location is part of the EXIF data, and the tool removes all EXIF data except the rotation, which keeps the photo the right way up.
Does removing metadata lower the quality?
No. The image data is copied as it is, not compressed again, so the clean copy looks exactly the same. It is usually a little smaller.
Does it work with HEIC photos from an iPhone?
Not yet. It works with JPEG, PNG and WebP. When you pick a photo from your library in Safari, the iPhone usually hands over a JPEG, which works.
Don’t apps remove metadata anyway?
Many social apps remove the location when you post a photo, but not all of them, and often not when you send the photo as a file or document. Cleaning it yourself means you don’t have to rely on each app.
