What can a photo reveal?

More than what’s in the picture

Photo metadata can describe how and where an image was made. Available fields depend on the device, settings, and image format. Before sharing a photo, remove metadata from the copy you plan to post.

Frequently asked questions

Image metadata, explained

What is EXIF data?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is information saved inside many photos by a camera or phone. It may include the date and time a photo was taken, camera settings, device model, and sometimes GPS location.

Does removing metadata reduce image quality?

PNG output is lossless. JPEG and WebP are re-encoded by your browser and may lose some quality; choose a higher quality setting to reduce that change. Your original file is not altered.

Are my photos uploaded or stored?

No. The image is decoded and re-encoded locally in your browser. This site does not send the selected image to an image-processing server.

Can I remove metadata from iPhone photos?

JPEG and PNG photos from an iPhone are supported. Many newer iPhone photos use HEIC / HEIF, which this tool cannot process. We do not accept those files or upload them for conversion.

Will this remove location and GPS data?

The clean output is newly created from the image pixels, so the original embedded EXIF and GPS fields are not carried over. The image’s visible content is retained.

Does this tool support HEIC?

No. HEIC / HEIF decoding and encoding are not included. The tool supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP only when your browser can decode and encode them.
