Image Metadata

This subcategory gathers 3 free tools that need no account and inspect or clean an image side information in your browser. It matters to people who publish photos, send a file to a client or want to check dimensions, ratio and file size before use. Tools include Image information, Remove image metadata and Erase image metadata. Files stay in your browser when the tool page says so.

Start with Image information to read format, dimensions, ratio and file size. If you then want to reduce or remove side information, Remove image metadata re-encodes the image without that data. Erase image metadata targets EXIF, XMP and side profiles with a native engine. For a simple check, keep the first tool. To prepare a publication or a send, choose one of the two cleaning tools based on the level you need.

How to use

  1. Open Image information to read format, dimensions, ratio and file size, and note the constraint to respect before any change.
  2. For light cleaning, first use Remove image metadata, which re-encodes the file without side information.
  3. If you must remove EXIF, XMP and side profiles, choose Erase image metadata with its native engine.
  4. After the operation, check again with Image information that the result and file size still match the intended use.

Frequently asked questions

What does Image information show?

Image information displays the format, dimensions, ratio and file size. This helps check that an image meets a constraint before you publish or send it. The tool is free, needs no sign-up, and the file stays in your browser.

Why remove image metadata?

Remove image metadata re-encodes the file without side information. Erase image metadata goes further with EXIF, XMP and side profiles. The right choice depends on the cleaning you need. Check the result and the new file size afterward.

Can I clean metadata without changing the image look?

Remove image metadata re-encodes the file without side information, and Erase image metadata targets EXIF, XMP and side profiles. The visual look should stay close, but always compare the original and the result. Check the final size with Image information.

Why check the ratio before sending an image?

Image information shows the ratio, which helps you know whether the image will fit a publication or print frame. If the ratio does not work, it is better to adjust the crop before sending. This avoids unexpected automatic cropping at the destination.
