Every photo carries hidden data: camera, timestamps, sometimes your GPS location. Strip it all before the image goes public — free, in your browser.

JPG, PNG, WebP — see what's hidden inside, then wipe it clean. 100% local.
Geek check: open DevTools → Network tab — 0 bytes of your data uploaded.
Why this matters
Every photo from your phone carries hidden EXIF data: camera model, shooting time, and sometimes precise GPS coordinates. Posting the original online publishes all of it.
This tool shows you exactly what's inside — then produces a pixel-identical copy with every metadata field wiped. Nothing ever leaves your browser.
Cleaning re-encodes the image from raw pixels (JPEG/WebP at 95% quality, PNG lossless). No server, no upload, no account.
Files are processed locally and never uploaded.
Drop the photos you're about to publish into the cleaner above.
Review what it finds — the tool shows you the hidden data first.
Clean with one click and post the metadata-free copy instead of the original.
EXIF is the famous one — camera model, shutter speed, timestamps — but a modern photo carries three more metadata systems most people never hear about: IPTC (captions, keywords, copyright), XMP (editing history, sometimes entire Lightroom adjustment stacks), and embedded thumbnails that can survive even after you crop the visible image.
This page's cleaner wipes all of them, not just EXIF. It re-encodes the image from raw pixel data, which physically cannot carry any metadata format over — the output is built from pixels alone. What's gone is gone, verifiably: run the cleaned file through the viewer again and you'll see zero fields.
The classic disaster is the marketplace listing: you photograph a laptop on your desk, the photo's GPS tags your home address, and the listing is public. Real-estate photos have exposed sellers' addresses the same way; a “for sale” post with location data is an invitation you didn't mean to send.
Then there's the professional leak: a “screenshot” of a document that still carries the author's name in its metadata, a portfolio piece whose XMP reveals the client name you removed from the visible caption, a dating-profile photo timestamped at 3 AM. None of this is visible in the image — all of it is readable by anyone who downloads the file.
Make it a habit, not a project: export or download the final image, drop it in the cleaner, glance at the summary (GPS present? that's the red flag), download the clean copy, post that one. Archive the original separately — you may want the timestamps for your own records later.
One exception: photographers who sell or license work should keep metadata in the delivered file — IPTC copyright and contact fields are how your work stays attributed. Strip for casual posting; preserve for professional delivery.
EXIF is one kind of image metadata — the camera-generated kind. Photos can also carry IPTC (captions, copyright), XMP (editing history), and embedded thumbnails. This cleaner removes all of them by re-encoding from raw pixels.
No. The cleaned copy is re-encoded from the exact pixel data — visually identical. Only the invisible data (camera info, GPS, timestamps, editing history) is discarded.
No — removal is permanent for that file, which is the point. Always keep your original archived separately and post only the cleaned copy.
Yes. Screenshots can carry software names, device info, and timestamps in their metadata. Drop them in like any other image — the cleaner treats every file the same.
