Frequently asked questions
Why remove EXIF data?
Phone photos often contain the exact GPS location where they were taken, plus the device model and time. Anyone who gets the original file can read this.
Does removing metadata reduce quality?
No for most photos — the metadata is cut out without touching the pixels. Only photos with a rotation flag are re-saved at high quality so they still display upright.
Do social networks remove it for me?
Some do, but email, messaging apps that send “original quality” files, cloud links and many websites keep it. Cleaning photos yourself is the safe option.
Is Remove Photo Metadata (EXIF) free?
Yes. Remove Photo Metadata (EXIF) is free to use with no sign-up and no watermark.
Are my files uploaded to your server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, which also makes it fast and private.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone. Very large files may be slow on older phones.
