About EXIF Remover Online

This tool strips all EXIF metadata from image files, returning a clean copy that contains only the pixel data. Camera info, GPS coordinates, dates, editing history — anything embedded in the file is removed.

Removing EXIF is important for privacy. Photos shared on social media often have their EXIF stripped automatically by the platform, but photos shared directly (email, messaging apps, file hosting) keep their metadata — exposing your home location, frequent places, what camera and software you use, and your editing patterns.

It's also useful for journalists protecting sources, businesses sharing product photos without revealing internal locations, and anyone uploading photos to untrusted destinations. The pixels are unchanged; only the metadata is stripped.

How to use this tool

How to strip EXIF metadata from an image

  1. Upload the image

    Drop the photo into the Image field. Works on any format Sharp reads, but the cleaned output is always JPEG.

  2. What gets removed

    The tool re-encodes the pixels with withMetadata({}) — meaning no metadata is copied through. EXIF, IPTC, XMP, GPS, camera make/model, software stamps, original timestamps and serial numbers are all dropped.

  3. Press Run

    Output is a fresh JPEG at quality 92 with just pixel data. Visual content is unchanged; only the embedded metadata is gone.

  4. Verify before sharing

    Run the cleaned file through EXIF viewer to confirm the GPS / camera fields are absent. Some platforms (Instagram, Twitter) strip metadata too, but never assume — verify the bytes you control.
