About EXIF Remover
Remove camera/device/location metadata from photos to protect privacy before sharing. Everything runs client-side in your browser. Photos taken with smartphones often contain GPS coordinates, timestamps, and device model names that you may not want to share publicly. This is particularly relevant when posting to social media, publishing a freelance portfolio, or uploading images to a website. The side-by-side metadata comparison lets you see exactly what information was embedded in each photo before you decide to share it. Batch processing support means you can clean an entire folder of images in one go, which is a real time-saver for photographers and content managers who deal with large volumes of files.

FAQ
Are images uploaded to a server?
No. Analysis, EXIF removal, and download preparation all happen in your browser.
Which file formats are supported?
JPEG/JPG is fully supported, with optional support for PNG and WebP.
What can I compare before and after?
You can compare metadata entry count, tag values, and file sizes before and after cleanup.
Will image quality change?
Images are re-encoded with Canvas API, so compression characteristics may change depending on format. Check output size and visual quality as needed.
What kind of data is stored in EXIF metadata?
Common EXIF fields include capture date and time (DateTimeOriginal), GPS latitude and longitude, camera make and model, lens information, ISO speed, shutter speed, and aperture. Smartphone photos in particular often contain precise GPS coordinates of your home, workplace, or other regularly visited locations.
Don't social platforms remove EXIF automatically?
Many platforms like Instagram, X (Twitter), and Facebook strip EXIF data during upload in most cases, but this behavior can vary by platform version, upload method, and file format. If you need guaranteed removal — for example before sharing a file directly or publishing on your own website — stripping metadata manually beforehand is the safest approach.
