Metadata removal limits

  • The result is re-encoded, so its binary data and file size will differ from the source.
  • Removing metadata does not hide visible text, faces, addresses or location clues inside the image itself.

How to remove image metadata

Re-encode an image into a new file without the source metadata blocks.

01

Choose the source image

Select the JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or JFIF file you want to clean.

02

Remove the metadata

The tool decodes the visible pixels and creates a new image without copying EXIF fields.

03

Download the clean copy

Save the re-encoded image and keep the original separately if you need its metadata later.

A simple metadata removal workflow

Fresh image file

The result is encoded from the displayed pixels instead of copying the original file container.

Dimensions preserved

The output keeps the source width and height while removing embedded metadata.

Local privacy step

The image stays on your device during decoding and re-encoding.

EXIF removal questions

What information can EXIF contain?
Depending on the device and app, metadata may include camera settings, capture time, orientation, software and sometimes location coordinates.
Will removing EXIF change the image?
The visible dimensions are preserved, but the file is re-encoded and may have a different file size or compression result.
Can I recover metadata after downloading the clean copy?
No. Keep the original file if you may need its camera or capture information later.

Prepare a shareable image

Continue with compression, resizing or format conversion after removing metadata.
