How it works
- Drop the photos you are about to share. JPG, PNG, WebP and iPhone HEIC photos all work.
- Press Remove metadata. EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC and comment blocks are removed from each file.
- Download the photos one by one or as a ZIP. JPG, PNG and WebP keep their exact image data; HEIC photos are saved as JPG.
- Share the cleaned copies instead of the originals.
Frequently asked questions
- What does a photo reveal without me knowing?
- Phones store the GPS coordinates where a photo was taken, the date and time, the phone model and camera settings, and sometimes the owner's name or a serial number. Anyone who gets the original file can read them with free tools, which can reveal a home address from a picture of the living room.
- Does removing metadata reduce the quality?
- No. For JPG, PNG and WebP only the metadata blocks are removed and the compressed image data is copied unchanged, so there is no re-compression at all. HEIC cannot be cleaned that way, so those photos are converted to a high-quality JPG.
- Will my portrait photos turn sideways?
- No. Phones often store rotation as a metadata tag instead of turning the pixels. That one tag is kept, on its own, so photos stay the right way up; everything else is removed.
- Do social networks not remove it anyway?
- Several large ones strip it from what they publish, but the original file keeps it when you send photos by email, share a cloud link, attach them in apps that send the original, or put them on your own website.
- Are my photos uploaded?
- No. The files are cleaned in your browser. The free plan handles 3 photos per run, 20 MB each and 10 runs per day; Pro cleans a whole album in one go.
