Inspect and remove EXIF, XMP, IPTC, comments, and PNG text metadata without recompressing the image.

Detected Metadata

Field	Value
No image loaded.

Remove hidden metadata from JPG and PNG images before sharing them. The tool shows detected fields first, then downloads a cleaned copy while preserving the original encoded pixels and image quality.

Why Remove EXIF and Image Metadata?

Photos can contain camera model, capture time, editing software, author details, comments, thumbnails, and sometimes GPS coordinates. Removing these fields before publishing or sending a file reduces accidental information disclosure while leaving the visible image pixels unchanged.

This remover strips common JPEG EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and comment segments, plus PNG text, compressed text, international text, and EXIF chunks. The image is not recompressed, so removing metadata does not lower visual quality.

Image Metadata Removal FAQ

Does removing metadata change the photo?

No. For supported JPG and PNG files, metadata containers are removed directly and the encoded image data is preserved.

Is every kind of private information removed?

The tool removes the standard metadata containers commonly used by JPEG and PNG. Information visibly printed into image pixels, such as a timestamp, address, badge, or watermark, is part of the picture and requires cropping or redaction instead.

Are images uploaded?

No. Metadata inspection and removal run locally in the browser, and the cleaned image downloads directly to your device.
