Free Online Image Metadata Remover

The remover clears all embedded metadata ExifTool can strip: EXIF (camera settings, GPS, timestamps), IPTC (copyright, captions, keywords), XMP (extended properties, licensing), and C2PA content provenance.

After processing, the download contains pixel data — no hidden information about where, when, how, or by whom the photo was taken. Visual quality is preserved.

This matters on forums, marketplaces, dating apps, or any public platform where location or device information is a risk. Format-specific caveat: PNG often has little EXIF; JPEG from a phone is the typical high-risk file.

If you need to keep copyright but drop GPS only, use the EXIF editor instead of a full wipe.

A full strip removes the Orientation tag too. Phones often store the pixels sideways and rely on that tag to display the photo upright, so a cleaned file can open rotated by 90 degrees. Rotate it once in any image editor and save; the rotation then lives in the pixels.

The ICC color profile goes with everything else. On sRGB photos nothing changes. On iPhone photos shot in Display P3, colors can look slightly duller in color-managed apps. If that matters, the guide to removing metadata has an ExifTool command that keeps the profile.
