How it works

1

Add your images

Drag & drop photos onto the upload area, or click to browse. JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and HEIC are all supported. You can add multiple files at once.

2

Review metadata

Each image card shows what's embedded — camera model, timestamps, and a red GPS badge if location data is present. Click EXIF to inspect every field.

3

Strip & download

Click Strip per image or Strip All EXIF for the full batch. Download files individually or as a single ZIP. Originals are never modified.

🔒

Your privacy is guaranteed

This tool runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — no images are uploaded, no metadata is logged, and no account is required. The only thing stored locally is your daily strip count (a number and today's date). Images and all generated files are cleared from memory the moment you close or refresh the tab.

How to use

1

Add your images

Drag and drop images onto the upload area, or click it to browse your files. You can add multiple images at once. Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, HEIC.

2

Review detected metadata

Each card shows a status badge. Cards with a red GPS badge contain location data. Click the EXIF button on any card to inspect every embedded field before removing it.

3

Strip the metadata

Click Strip on individual images, or use Strip All EXIF in the action bar to process your entire batch at once. A progress bar tracks the operation.

4

Download your clean images

Save images one at a time with the ⬇ Save button, or grab everything as a single ZIP with Download All. Files are saved with a _clean suffix so originals are never overwritten.

What is EXIF data?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata automatically embedded in photos by cameras and smartphones. It can include your GPS location, device model, lens settings, timestamps, and more — often without you realising it.

Sharing an unstripped photo can reveal exactly where and when it was taken, and what device you used.

When should you strip EXIF?

📸

Social media Most platforms strip EXIF on upload, but not all — don't rely on it.

🗞️

Press & journalism Protect sources and shooting locations in sensitive coverage.

🛒

Selling online Product photos can leak your home address via GPS coordinates.

🔒

General privacy Any time you share a photo with someone you don't fully trust.

Free tier limits

The free plan allows 5 images stripped per day. Uploading images, viewing EXIF data, and downloading already-cleaned images are always unlimited. The daily count resets at midnight.

Our commitment

This tool was built with a single guiding principle: your images never leave your device. Every operation — reading metadata, stripping it, generating the cleaned file — happens entirely inside your browser.

🖼️

No image uploads — ever Your photos are processed using the browser's built-in Canvas API. No image data, filename, or file content is transmitted to any server at any point.

📡

No analytics or tracking This page loads no analytics scripts, pixel trackers, or third-party cookies. The only external resources are the open-source libraries (JSZip, exifr) loaded from public CDNs.

💾

localStorage — usage count only The only data stored locally is your daily strip count and today's date (e.g. {"date":"2025-01-15","count":2}). No filenames, no image data, no personal information.

🔌

Works offline After the page first loads, all processing works with no internet connection. Your images never need a network connection to be cleaned.

🗑️

Memory is cleared on close All loaded images and generated blobs exist only in browser memory for your current session. Closing or refreshing the tab immediately frees all image data.

Third-party libraries

exifr (MIT licence) — reads EXIF metadata client-side. JSZip (MIT licence) — creates ZIP archives client-side. Neither library sends any data externally. Both are loaded from public CDNs (cdnjs.cloudflare.com, cdn.jsdelivr.net) on first page load only.
