EXIF Metadata Remover

What Photographs Quietly Carry

EXIF metadata routinely includes GPS coordinates to the meter, the device serial number, the software used and the exact capture timestamp. Posting a photo taken at home can publish your home address. Some platforms strip EXIF on upload, some do not, and direct file sharing (email, messaging attachments, forums) generally does not. Stripping before sharing is the only reliable control — and it is one-way: the original on your device keeps its metadata, so keep it as the master.

What Your Photos Reveal Before You Post Them

Camera and phone photos carry EXIF metadata: the device model, lens settings, the date and time, and often the GPS coordinates where the picture was taken. Posting a photo taken at home can expose your address to anyone who downloads the file, unless the platform strips the data.

Re-encoding the image through the browser canvas writes a fresh file without that block, so the pixels are kept and the hidden tags are gone. Check the result by opening the new file's properties. Note that some platforms remove metadata on upload and others keep it, so removing it yourself is the safer habit when sharing by email, forums or direct download.
