How to use the Remove Image Metadata
- Choose one or more photos.
- Wait a moment while they're cleaned.
- Download the clean copies.
What does this tool do?
The photo is redrawn from its pixels only, so every piece of metadata — GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, dates, editing software — is left behind. Quality is kept high (95%).
Why use it?
- Protect your home location when selling items or sharing online.
- Remove device details before publishing.
- Batch clean many photos.
Check before and after
Use the Image Metadata Viewer on the original and the cleaned file to confirm the GPS data is gone.

Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device, which is why it works even on a slow connection.
