Handy tips
- iPhone and Android photos often carry GPS location by default. Clearing it before sharing publicly gives you peace of mind.
- This tool doesn't re-compress the pixels, so image quality stays exactly the same. Only the location and camera info disappears.
- Orientation data is kept, so your photo won't end up sideways or rotated after cleanup.
What is EXIF, and why remove it
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is extra information stored alongside a photo file. It can include the camera and lens model, shooting settings like aperture and shutter speed, the date and time it was taken, and — if GPS was on — the latitude and longitude of where it was shot.
That's handy for organizing your own photos, but it's a different story once you post online. GPS coordinates in particular can expose your home, workplace, or other places you frequent, which is risky when sending photos to strangers. That's why it's safer to make clearing metadata a habit before you share.
Why the quality doesn't drop
Normally, editing and re-saving an image re-compresses (re-encodes) it, chipping away at the quality a little each time. But this tool never touches the actual picture data — it only cuts out the metadata fragments attached to the file.
So the result is pixel-for-pixel identical to the original, and the file only shrinks by however much metadata was removed. Orientation is restored in minimal form, so there's no risk of your photo ending up on its side.
Frequently asked questions
No. The picture data is left untouched and only the metadata is removed, so the quality matches the original exactly.
No. Everything runs inside your browser, and the photo file is never sent anywhere.
Yes. It removes personal metadata like location (GPS), camera info, and the date and time taken. Only the orientation data is kept.
JPG and PNG are supported. For iPhone HEIC photos, convert HEIC to JPG first, then use this tool.
