Remove EXIF data. Including where you were.
Photos carry the camera, the settings, the date and often the exact GPS coordinates they were taken at. This cuts all of it out of the file — in your browser, with no upload, and without re-encoding the picture.

How it works
- 01
Add your photo
Drop in a JPG or PNG. It is read in your browser and never uploaded — which is rather the point.
- 02
Strip it
The EXIF, GPS, XMP and IPTC blocks are cut out of the file. You are told exactly what came out.

The picture itself is untouched: same pixels, same quality, just without the hidden data.

Common questions
Is my photo uploaded?+
No, and this tool has no server fallback at all. Every other tool here sends the file to our engine when your browser can't do the job — this one refuses instead. A tool that uploads your GPS-tagged photo in order to remove the GPS tag has missed the point.
Does it reduce the image quality?+
No. Nothing is re-encoded. The compressed picture data is copied across byte for byte and only the metadata blocks are dropped, so the image that comes out is pixel-for-pixel the image that went in. Tools that redraw the photo to strip it cost you a generation of quality every time.
Why does the file still have an orientation tag?+
Because removing it would turn your photo sideways. A phone doesn't rotate the sensor data; it writes the picture as the sensor read it and records "display this rotated" in the EXIF. Strip that and every viewer shows a portrait photo in landscape. So when a rotation flag is present we write back exactly one tag — which way is up. It says nothing about where, when, or on what the photo was taken.
What exactly is removed?+
EXIF (camera make and model, lens, settings, date, and GPS coordinates), XMP, IPTC/Photoshop blocks, and comments. On a PNG, the text and eXIf chunks. The colour profile is deliberately kept: dropping it would leave a valid file with visibly wrong colours.
Which formats work?+
JPG and PNG. Those cover phone photos and screenshots, which is nearly everything people want stripped. Other formats are refused rather than uploaded.
Free, no watermark?+
Yes. Free, no watermark, no signup.
