EXIF Remover
Strip EXIF, GPS coordinates, XMP and IPTC metadata from your images before sharing them. This tool removes the metadata segments at the byte level, which means the image itself is never re-encoded: every pixel comes out exactly as it went in, with zero quality loss.

How to use the exif remover
- Add your images (up to 30 at once; JPG, PNG and WebP).
- Press Remove metadata. The tool works on the file bytes directly.
- Each file reports exactly what was removed and its new size.
- Download files individually or the whole batch as one ZIP.
Batch mode handles up to 30 files at once, each one reports exactly what was removed, and everything happens locally in your browser. Your images are never uploaded, which is the point.
Frequently asked questions
Is removing EXIF really lossless?
Yes, and that is what makes this tool different from "just re-save it". It parses the file structure, deletes the metadata segments, and copies the image data through untouched. A canvas re-encode (what most online tools do) re-compresses the image and degrades it slightly every time. This one cannot: it never decodes the pixels.
Which metadata gets removed?
In JPG files: EXIF (including GPS and camera info), XMP, IPTC/Photoshop data, and embedded comments. In PNG: the EXIF and text chunks. In WebP: the EXIF and XMP chunks. The ICC color profile is deliberately kept, because removing it changes how colors display.
What about HEIC files?
HEIC metadata removal is not supported here, honestly stated: the format stores metadata in interleaved boxes whose offsets must be rewritten, one wrong byte corrupts the file. The safe path is converting HEIC to JPG (which re-encodes and thereby strips everything), then cleaning the JPG here if you want the color profile preserved.
Does stripping metadata reduce file size?
Usually by a few kilobytes: GPS blocks, thumbnails and XMP add up but are small next to image data. The size win is not the reason to do it; the privacy is.
