Remove embedded EXIF and GPS metadata locally before sharing

About Image EXIF Stripper

Image EXIF Stripper redraws your photo onto an HTML canvas and exports a fresh file so embedded EXIF tags — GPS coordinates, lens serial numbers, timestamps, and proprietary maker notes — never leave your laptop or phone. Pick JPEG, PNG, or WebP output, tune compression where applicable, and download a privacy-friendly asset before posting publicly.

  2. Pick output format and JPEG/WebP quality if needed.
  3. Click Strip & download to save a scrubbed copy.

When to use Image EXIF Stripper

  • Sanitising vacation photos before uploading to forums.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is stripping lossless?

PNG stays visually identical for typical photos; JPEG and WebP recompress slightly because pixels are re-encoded.

Do files upload anywhere?

No — decoding and encoding happen only inside your browser tab.

Does this remove ICC color profiles?

Canvas export focuses on pixels; advanced color metadata may differ — verify if colour-critical workflows demand specialised tooling.

Which formats are supported?

Common raster inputs your browser can decode, with JPEG, PNG, or WebP output choices.

Is Image EXIF Stripper free?

Yes — no signup and no watermark.
