Private by design, from selection to download
Find and remove hidden details in your browser before you share photos, publish creative work, or send client files.
Privacy starts on your device
Files are read with the browser File API and are never sent to our APIs.
Scan EXIF, GPS, and C2PA
Detects camera data, location, editing software, generation parameters, and C2PA/JUMBF.
Verify the clean result
Every output is scanned again so the report reflects actual residual data.
What Is an Image Metadata Remover?
An image metadata remover deletes hidden information embedded in an image file. That information is not visible in the picture, but it can include where and when it was captured, the device used, author details, editing history, and AI generation workflow data.
Cleaning metadata before you share a photo, publish creative work, or deliver client assets can reduce accidental exposure of private or workflow details. It changes file metadata, not the visible content of the image.
When Should You Remove Metadata?
Before publishing creative assets
Remove author, editing history, software, and generation workflow fields from images you own.
Before delivering website or client images
Use one repeatable batch workflow before uploading to a website, sharing files, or delivering client work.
What image metadata can be removed?
Images can store location, device, author, editing, and generation details in parts of the file you cannot see. The tool shows what it finds before cleaning and scans the output again after export.
EXIF and camera data
Camera and lens models, capture time, exposure settings, orientation, and editing software.
GPS location
Embedded latitude, longitude, altitude, and geotags that can reveal where a photo was taken.
XMP, IPTC, and PNG text
Author, copyright, captions, keywords, ratings, and editing history stored in common metadata blocks.
AI generation data
Prompts, seeds, model names, and workflow fields written by supported generators and image pipelines.
C2PA content credentials
Detected C2PA/JUMBF provenance manifests and content credentials attached to the image.
Remove image metadata in three steps
01
Choose images
Drop, paste, or choose up to 50 images, including phone HEIC photos. No sign-up is required.
02
Review risks
See GPS, device, author, AI parameters, and credentials before cleaning.
03
Clean locally
Choose lossless or re-encode mode, verify, and download.

What Can—and Can’t—This Metadata Remover Remove?
Metadata and image pixels are different kinds of information. Knowing the boundary helps you understand exactly what the cleaned result does.
It can remove or clean
- EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, and PNG text fields
- Detected AI generation parameters and software tags
- C2PA/JUMBF content credentials and provenance manifests
- Target metadata confirmed by the post-clean verification report
It cannot guarantee removal of
- Visible or invisible watermarks encoded into image pixels
- Classifications made by third-party services from the visual content itself
- Information already stored by an external website or platform
- Evasion of reverse image search or any recognition system
Common questions about image metadata removal
What is an image metadata remover?
It is a tool that detects and deletes hidden information in image files, such as GPS location, EXIF camera details, XMP/IPTC fields, AI generation parameters, and C2PA content credentials.
Are images really never uploaded?
Yes. Scanning, decoding, Canvas work, WASM codecs, verification, and ZIP creation all run in your browser.
What is the difference between Lossless and Privacy clean?
Lossless mode rebuilds only the container and never changes pixels. Privacy mode re-encodes, covers more formats, and removes credentials, but changes file bytes and compression.
Can this remove AI watermarks or beat reverse image search?
It removes removable metadata and credentials and changes simple file or pixel fingerprints. It cannot guarantee removal of pixel-embedded watermarks or evasion of recognition systems.
Why is the first HEIC or AVIF operation slower?
Those formats load browser-side WASM codecs on demand. Later files can reuse the browser cache.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
Lossless mode rebuilds the JPG, PNG, or WebP container without changing pixels. Privacy clean re-encodes the image, so file size and compression can change.
How many images can I process at once?
You can add up to 50 images at once, with a 25 MB limit per file. Batch cleaning, verification, and ZIP creation all happen in your browser.
Does a verified result mean the file is completely anonymous?
No. Verification confirms that the metadata structures targeted by this tool are no longer detected. Visible content, filenames, and unknown application-specific fields can still reveal information, so review sensitive files before sharing.
