How to remove metadata from your images

From photo to clean copy in seconds: two clicks, three steps.

  1. Step 1

    Add your photos

    Drag and drop, click to browse, or paste from the clipboard. Add up to three JPG, PNG, or WebP images at a time.

  2. Step 2

    See what was hiding

    The tool shows supported metadata found in each image, including GPS, camera details, timestamps, and AI prompts. It removes that data locally, then re-scans the output.

  3. Step 3

    Download the clean copy

    Save photos one by one, or grab everything at once as a ZIP. Originals on your device are never modified.

Lossless

Remove metadata without losing quality

Many tools redraw and re-save your image. We only cut out the metadata, so the picture itself is copied byte-for-byte. Drag to compare.

Do social media platforms strip EXIF data for you?

Many people assume Instagram, Facebook, or X will remove photo metadata automatically. Sometimes they do, for the copies other people see. But that behavior is not something you control, and it does not cover every way a photo leaves your device. Here is what actually happens.

  • Most large platforms strip EXIF from public copies

    When you post a photo, major social networks typically re-encode it and remove most EXIF data from the version shown to other users, mainly to save bandwidth, not to protect you. None of this is guaranteed: the behavior is undocumented, differs between platforms and features, and can change with any update. What a platform strips today is a side effect, not a promise you can rely on.

  • Your uploaded original may stay on their servers

    Stripping metadata from the public copy says nothing about the file you uploaded. Platforms can retain the original, including its GPS coordinates, timestamps, and device details, on their servers for processing, moderation, or analytics, subject to their own policies. Once a file leaves your device, you cannot inspect what is kept or for how long. The only version you can fully account for is the one you cleaned before uploading.

  • Direct sharing skips platform stripping entirely

    Email attachments, cloud-drive links, AirDrop, and messenger options that send the "original" or "document" version deliver your file byte-for-byte, metadata included. Forwarding a photo someone sent you passes their metadata along too. These everyday channels involve no platform re-encoding at all, so GPS positions, capture times, and device details travel exactly as they were stored in the file.

  • Clean locally before sharing: the step you control

    You cannot audit a platform's servers, but you can verify a file on your own device. Removing supported metadata from photos locally, before they leave your machine, is the one step in the chain you fully control and the only one you can independently double-check. This AI metadata remover does that in your browser and re-scans every cleaned copy so you can see the result.

How to verify your metadata is really gone

This tool re-scans every cleaned copy with the same scanner that inspected the original. But a privacy tool should not ask for blind trust. You can confirm the result yourself with independent, third-party tools on your own computer. Here are three common ways to check.

exiftool photo.jpg

ExifTool: the reference command-line check

ExifTool is the free, widely trusted standard for reading image metadata. After installing it, run exiftool photo.jpg on your original and again on the cleaned copy, then compare the two listings. GPS positions, timestamps, camera details, and other supported metadata removed by this tool should no longer appear in the cleaned file. A few structural fields, like image dimensions, are part of the image itself and always remain.

Windows: check file properties in Explorer

On Windows, right-click the cleaned file, choose Properties, then open the Details tab. Explorer lists common EXIF fields such as camera model, date taken, and GPS. Compare it with the original file's Details tab; entries that held personal information should now be blank. Explorer shows only a subset of metadata, so ExifTool remains the more complete check.

macOS: use the inspector in Preview

On a Mac, open the cleaned image in Preview, choose Tools, then Show Inspector, and click the info tab. If the original showed EXIF or GPS panes, compare the two files side by side: the GPS tab should be gone and the EXIF listing reduced to structural basics. Preview reads the file directly, so it is a quick independent confirmation.

What the built-in re-scan does and doesn't

After cleaning, this tool automatically re-scans the output with the same scanner used for inspection and shows what remains. That confirms the supported metadata categories, including EXIF, XMP, IPTC, PNG text, comments, and consented provenance markers, were removed. It cannot vouch for anything outside its supported scope, such as pixel watermarks, so independent checks are always welcome.

Batch remove EXIF from up to three photos

Cleaning photos one by one gets tedious fast. This image metadata remover accepts a small batch of up to three JPEG, PNG, or static WebP files and cleans them automatically in your browser. Every clean copy is re-scanned before download, and your original files are never overwritten.

Automatic cleaning, one file at a time

Add up to three images and the cleaner processes them sequentially, entirely on your device. Each file gets its own summary: what supported metadata was found, what was removed, and what the re-scan of the output shows. Nothing hides behind a single "done" message. You can review the result for every photo before downloading it.

Download the whole batch as one ZIP

With two or more cleaned images, the workbench can package all the clean copies into a single ZIP archive built locally in your browser, like everything else. One download instead of three, with each file inside remaining an individually cleaned, re-scanned copy. You can still download any file on its own if you prefer.

Paste images straight from your clipboard

Screenshots and copied images don't need to be saved first. Copy an image, focus the page, and paste. Supported files enter the same inspect-and-clean flow as dropped or browsed files. It's a quick way to strip supported metadata from a screenshot before it goes into a chat, a bug report, or a post.

Honest limits, checked before anything runs

Free includes up to 10 images per day. Each image may be up to 15 MB, with a 30 MB total batch limit. The local usage record contains no file details. A separate pre-check rejects images above 40 megapixels. Unsupported formats such as HEIC, RAW, or animated images are refused clearly and never uploaded.
