Remove metadata before you share
Strip EXIF, GPS location, IPTC and comments from your photos. The image itself stays pixel-perfect — only the hidden data is deleted.
Drop photos to remove their metadata
Add one or many. EXIF, GPS, IPTC and comments are stripped — pixels stay byte-for-byte identical.
Why remove EXIF data?
Photos you share online can carry more than the image. Embedded metadata often reveals the exact GPS location a picture was taken, the device that took it, and the precise date and time — information you may not want public on social media, marketplaces or forums.
ExifPixel removes it at the binary level: EXIF and XMP, IPTC and Photoshop blocks, and comment segments are cut out, while the JPEG or PNG image stream is copied through untouched. That means zero quality loss — unlike tools that re-save (and re-compress) the picture.
The color profile (ICC) is preserved so your cleaned image still looks exactly right. Want to keep the photo location but drop everything else — or the reverse? The dedicated Remove GPS Data tool handles location-only stripping.
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove EXIF data from a photo?
Drop one or more images onto the box above. ExifPixel strips the metadata instantly in your browser and gives you a clean copy to download. The original file on your device is never modified.
Will removing metadata lower my image quality?
No. The metadata is removed without re-encoding the image, so the pixels are byte-for-byte identical to the original. There is no additional compression or quality loss.
Can I remove EXIF from multiple photos at once?
Yes. Drop several files together and each one is cleaned individually, with its own download button and a summary of exactly what was removed.
Does it remove GPS location too?
Yes. GPS coordinates live inside the EXIF block, so they are removed along with the rest of the metadata. If you only want to remove location and keep other tags, use the Remove GPS Data tool.
Which formats can be cleaned losslessly?
JPEG, PNG, WebP and HEIC are all cleaned at the binary level with no quality loss. For JPEG, PNG and WebP the metadata segments are removed; for HEIC (the iPhone format) the EXIF payload is cleared in place, leaving the image untouched.
