How to Remove EXIF Metadata from Photos
Strip GPS location, camera info, and other metadata from images. Browser-based, private, no upload needed.
Every photo taken on a smartphone or digital camera embeds metadata called EXIF data. This includes GPS coordinates, camera model, date and time, lens settings, and sometimes even the device serial number. Sharing photos with this data intact can reveal your location and habits.
ConvertCraft's Metadata Remover strips all EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata from your images directly in your browser. Your photos never leave your device during the process.
To remove metadata: open the Image Metadata tool, drop your photos, and click Strip Metadata. The tool creates clean copies with all metadata removed while preserving the image quality.
This is especially important when sharing photos on forums, marketplaces, or dating apps where you do not want to reveal your precise location or device information.
The tool supports JPG, PNG, WebP, and TIFF formats. Batch processing is available — strip metadata from up to 50 images at once.
Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata does the tool remove?
It removes all EXIF data (GPS, camera, date/time, exposure), IPTC metadata (captions, copyright), and XMP data (editing history). The image pixels are untouched.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
No. The tool only removes the metadata tags — the actual image pixels remain identical and uncompressed.
Why should I remove photo metadata?
Photos contain hidden GPS coordinates that reveal where they were taken. Removing metadata protects your privacy before sharing images online.
