See and remove photo metadata
Before removing anything, the tool shows you exactly what your photos are carrying — including a map link if there are GPS coordinates in them. Then it strips it, losslessly for JPG and PNG.

How it works
- Drop your photos. Each one expands into a table of what was found.
- Check the location warning if it appears.
- Remove all metadata and download the clean copies, individually or as a ZIP.
Why nothing is uploaded
Every operation on this page is done by code running inside your browser tab, using the same engine that renders web pages. The file is read from disk into your tab’s memory, transformed there, and written back out as a download. It is never sent anywhere — not to us, not to a third party.
Verify it yourself
- Open your browser’s developer tools (F12) and select the Network tab.
- Load your file and run the tool.
- The only requests you will see are the tool’s own code and, once cached, none at all.
Frequently asked questions
Why show the metadata instead of just deleting it?
Because most people have never seen what a photo carries, and the surprise is the point. A single holiday snap typically holds the exact coordinates, the phone model, the serial-numbered lens, the second it was taken and often the editing software. You should see that once.
Does stripping the data re-encode my photo?
Not for JPG or PNG. The metadata lives in separate blocks in the file, so removing them is a byte-level edit: the image data comes out identical. Other formats are cleaned by redrawing the pixels, which is not lossless — the tool says so per file.
What is the colour profile option?
The ICC profile describes how the colours should be interpreted. It is not personal data, and deleting it can make photos look washed out or over-saturated on wide-gamut screens, so it is kept by default. Untick it only if you need every last byte gone.
Is the photo uploaded to read the metadata?
No. Both the reading and the stripping happen in this tab. That matters more here than anywhere else on the site: the whole point is that the GPS coordinates of your home never leave your device.
