Completed Completed with a noteHow it works
- Select or drop a photo.

- The photo is re-encoded locally without that metadata.
- Download the cleaned copy.
Supported formats & limitations
- JPEG
Most likely to contain EXIF/GPS metadata from cameras and phones. - PNG / WebP
Supported where metadata detection is reliable.
- Not every possible metadata block can be verified as removed — the tool explains what was checked.
- The output is re-encoded, so extremely high zoom pixel comparison may show very minor differences.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of metadata gets removed? ›
Common categories include camera model, capture time, GPS location, and editing software tags.
Will the photo still look the same? ›
Yes, only hidden metadata is affected — the visible image is preserved.
Is the photo uploaded to check for metadata? ›
No, detection and removal both happen locally in your browser.
Troubleshooting
Why does the metadata checklist still show items after cleaning? ›
The checklist reflects what was found in the original file. Download the cleaned copy and re-check it separately if you want to confirm the metadata is gone.
Why is the cleaned file a slightly different size than the original? ›
Re-encoding the image to strip metadata can shift the file size slightly in either direction — this is expected and doesn’t affect visible quality.
