Strip Hidden EXIF Data Before You Share a Photo

Every photo your phone or camera takes carries invisible EXIF metadata: the exact GPS location where it was shot, the device model, the date and time, and camera settings. Post that photo online and you may be broadcasting your home address without realising it. This tool removes all of it — it redraws the image onto a fresh canvas and re-exports it, so the new file contains only the pixels, with none of the original metadata attached.

Because the cleaning happens by re-encoding on your device, it is thorough and completely private. Everything runs on your device via open-source browser libraries — your file is never uploaded. You can verify it yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is removed?

Re-encoding through a canvas produces a brand-new image with no EXIF, GPS, camera, timestamp, or software metadata — only the visible pixels remain.

Will the photo look different?

No visible change to the image itself. It is redrawn at full resolution; only the hidden metadata is gone. (Re-saving a JPG re-compresses it once, which is imperceptible at normal quality.)

Does this remove GPS location?

Yes — GPS coordinates live in EXIF, and re-encoding drops the entire EXIF block, so the location is removed.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The image is cleaned entirely in your browser and never sent anywhere — which is exactly why it is safe for sensitive photos.
