- Click Strip Metadata.
- Download each cleaned file individually.
What metadata is removed?
The tool uses the browser's Canvas API to redraw the image pixel-by-pixel and re-encode it as a new file. This process strips EXIF data (camera model, lens, settings, date/time), GPS location, IPTC data (copyright, keywords), and XMP metadata. Because the image is re-encoded from pixels up, any data not in the pixel values themselves is discarded.
Privacy — your images never leave your device
All processing happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server. The output file is generated locally and downloaded directly to your device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my image quality be affected?
PNG output is lossless — no quality loss. JPEG output uses 92% quality encoding which is near-original quality. The pixel content of the image is completely preserved.
Does this remove ICC colour profiles?
Yes — canvas re-encoding does not preserve ICC profiles. The output uses the sRGB colour space, which is the web standard and appropriate for most images.
Can I use this to remove location data from photos before sharing?
Yes — this is the primary use case. GPS coordinates embedded by smartphones are stripped during canvas re-encoding. Always verify with a metadata viewer if privacy is critical.
Does this work on RAW or HEIC files?
No — only JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported. Convert HEIC to JPG first using our HEIC to JPG converter, then strip the metadata.
