Photo metadata remover

Phone photos quietly carry GPS coordinates, device details and timestamps. This tool re-encodes the picture without that metadata, after applying the correct orientation.

What gets removed

The photo is re-encoded without EXIF data, so GPS location, camera model and capture details do not travel with the file. Sideways phone photos are rotated upright first, so portals that ignore orientation metadata display them correctly.

How it works

01

Add the photo

JPG, PNG or WebP up to 20 MB. The image content itself is not altered.

02

Clean it

EXIF, GPS and camera fields are dropped during re-encoding; the orientation flag is applied to the pixels first so the photo still displays upright.

03

Download the clean copy

The original file on your device is untouched. Only the download is metadata-free.

Common questions

What metadata do photos usually contain?

Typical fields include GPS latitude/longitude, camera make and model, capture date and time, software versions and a small preview thumbnail.

Does removing metadata reduce quality?

The image is re-encoded once at a high quality setting, which is visually indistinguishable for form and sharing purposes.

Why does my rotated photo display correctly afterwards?

The EXIF orientation flag is applied to the actual pixels before the flag is removed, so every viewer shows the same upright image.
