What is Remove EXIF Data?

Photos from phones and cameras embed extensive metadata: GPS coordinates, camera model, lens info, exposure settings, date/time, software used, and sometimes thumbnail previews. When you share images online, this hidden data travels with them. This tool strips every piece of metadata by re-encoding the image on an HTML canvas — which discards all EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and ICC profile data. The resulting image is pixel-identical but metadata-free.

Shows a before/after comparison with detected metadata fields, file sizes, and a side-by-side preview.
