About this tool
Before publishing or sending a photo, check what it contains: camera make and model, date and time taken, settings, software, author and above all GPS coordinates. The tool lists this metadata (EXIF, XMP, IPTC) with plain-language labels, flags sensitive data, then removes it. For JPEG and PNG, removal is lossless: the pixels are not recompressed.
How to use this tool
- 1Drop a photo: its metadata is read by the open source exifr library.
- 2Spot the sensitive data (GPS location, camera, date, author).
- 3Remove it and download the cleaned image.
Limits to know
- JPEG and PNG: lossless removal (the metadata segments are stripped from the file). Other formats (WebP, AVIF, GIF): the image is re-encoded as PNG.
- HEIC/HEIF (iPhone) cannot be read by browsers: convert the photo to JPG from your phone first.
- The EXIF orientation is removed along with the rest: if the photo was stored rotated, rotate it afterwards with the "Rotate or flip an image" tool.
- Accepted formats
- JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF
- Maximum size
- 50 MB

Most remove it on publication, but messaging apps, emails, classified ad sites and storage services do not. Cleaning the photo before sending remains the only guarantee.
