How to remove photo metadata
- Add photos
Drop JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF or HEIC files. The panel lists what each one carries: location, camera, date.
- Choose what goes
Remove everything, or only the location and keep the camera and date. Orientation and colour are always kept.
- Download
Download clean copies one by one or as a ZIP. The summary lists exactly what was removed.
02 — Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does removing metadata lower the quality?
No. JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF are rewritten without touching the image data, so every pixel is identical. HEIC and AVIF have to be re-encoded (HEIC becomes JPG at quality 92).
Will my photo turn sideways?
No. The orientation flag is the one tag that is kept, so photos stay the right way up everywhere.
What exactly is removed?
EXIF (GPS, camera, lens, dates, software, thumbnails), XMP, IPTC, comments, text chunks, maker notes and embedded extra images such as HDR gain maps.
