Strip all EXIF metadata from photos to protect privacy before sharing, processed entirely in the browser.
Photos often carry a second layer of information beyond their pixels. This remover takes a selected photo and produces a version with its EXIF metadata stripped, while all processing stays inside the browser and no photo is uploaded. EXIF can contain capture time, camera or phone details, orientation, exposure settings, thumbnails, and GPS coordinates. The common mistake is to read "no EXIF" as "anonymous." Faces, documents, reflections, landmarks, filenames, and metadata outside EXIF can still reveal information.
EXIF stores tagged values in image metadata structures, commonly covering capture time, device make and model, orientation, exposure settings, embedded thumbnails, and optional GPS coordinates. The remover discards the EXIF payload from the produced photo rather than blanking a few displayed fields. The image content remains a photograph; only that metadata layer is the stated target.
Processing takes place in the current browser session. The selected photo is handled locally and is not uploaded to a remote service for EXIF removal. The result applies only to the cleaned file. Copies on a camera, phone, drive, backup, or cloud library still retain their original EXIF unless they are separately replaced or deleted.
Yes, when the location is stored in EXIF GPS tags, because those tags are within the metadata being removed. No, it cannot erase location evidence visible in the pixels, such as a street sign or landmark, and it does not justify assumptions about location stored outside EXIF.
Not necessarily. The stated result is removal of EXIF metadata, not byte-for-byte preservation of the original encoding, a specific file-size reduction, or a promise that every viewer will render identically. Compare dimensions, orientation, visible quality, and format when those properties matter. Keep the original until the cleaned copy has been inspected.
