Remove EXIF and metadata from images

JPEG: EXIF (including the GPS and thumbnail parts), XMP, IPTC / Photoshop blocks, comments and other application segments, wherever they sit in the file (also after the image data), plus any bytes appended after the end-of-image marker. PNG: eXIf, tEXt, zTXt and iTXt chunks (including XMP) and the tIME chunk. WebP: EXIF and XMP chunks. The colour profile (ICC) is kept unless you untick the option; JFIF and Adobe markers stay because the picture needs them to decode.

No. The tool copies the compressed image data unchanged and only leaves out the metadata segments, so the output has exactly the same pixels and the same format as the input. If a file has no metadata it is returned unchanged.

Yes. Phones store sideways photos with an orientation tag instead of rotating the pixels. The tool keeps a minimal EXIF block that contains only that tag (26 bytes, no camera or location data), so the picture still displays the right way up.

Yes. Add the cleaned file to this tool again: its line says no metadata found, or lists only what was deliberately kept: the colour profile, and for a sideways photo the orientation tag, shown as EXIF (orientation only). Running it again then reports nothing to remove and returns the file unchanged. You can also inspect it with any EXIF viewer.

GIF and BMP carry no camera metadata and are not accepted. Nor are HEIC and RAW photos: this tool reads JPEG, PNG and WebP only. Damaged containers are refused with a message.

No. The page loads a small script into your browser and every operation runs on your device. You can check this yourself in the browser's network panel: after the page has loaded there are no upload requests. Closing the tab discards the file.

No. These basic tools are free and store nothing on our servers. The only limits are the tool's own: images up to 16384 pixels on a side. Within them, the practical limit is your device's memory.

Nothing you open or type. While the tab is open, the tool pages keep a short list of the steps taken in it, in the tab's session storage: the step (page opened, started, succeeded, first success, used again or failed), the tool's name, the time, how many files were used and, for a failure, an error code; never a file name, the contents of a file or your text. It holds at most the latest 200 steps, and the browser deletes it when the tab closes. The page never sends it. Where a Report a problem button is shown, you can attach the last 20 steps to your report; nothing is attached unless you tick that box. In local storage the page keeps only choices you made: a Light or Dark theme until you choose System again, the language you picked with the EN / 中文 switch if it differs from your browser's language, and this tool in your recently used list if you switched that list on at the tools page.
