EXIF & Privacy Remover
A photo straight from a phone can carry the exact GPS coordinates of where it was taken, along with camera and software details, embedded in the file. This decodes the image and re-encodes only the visible pixels into a clean new file, so none of that metadata survives — useful right before you post or send a photo you would rather not have location-tagged.
The visible pixels are re-encoded into a new file, discarding EXIF, GPS, camera, and embedded text metadata. Color appearance may vary by browser.
How to use
- Choose the photo you want to clean.
- Start the cleanup — this happens entirely in your browser.
- Download the re-encoded file without its metadata.
Frequently asked questions
- Does this remove GPS location data?
- Yes. Because only the decoded pixels are re-encoded into the new file, GPS coordinates, camera details, and other EXIF fields are not carried over.
- Will the photo look any different?
- The pixels are the same, but dropping the embedded color profile can cause a slight, usually unnoticeable shift in how colors render.
Privacy
The photo is re-encoded locally in your browser; the original file and its metadata are never uploaded.
