Remove hidden metadata from images

Made for photographers, journalists and privacy-conscious users who want to distribute pictures without embedded device or editing details.

Erase EXIF, XMP and side profiles with a native engine, leaving a cleaner image that reveals less hidden information when shared.

How to use

Pick the image whose hidden data you want to remove; PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIF and TIFF files are accepted.
Select the output format you prefer from JPEG, PNG and WebP for the intended use.
Start the metadata cleaning action and wait while the file is processed.
Download the cleaned image, then open it in your usual viewer to confirm that it still works correctly.
Use the erase control to remove the working file once you have saved the result.

Example

A photographer prepares pictures for a client and does not want to pass on camera details or location clues. They clean several files one by one, choose a suitable output format, and check that each image remains readable before sending it.

Limits and formats

Cleaning removes metadata, not visible information inside the picture itself.
The output format can change compression, so compare file size and apparent quality before sharing.
Some software adds fresh metadata when the file is opened and exported again.
Keep a backup of the original if you may need the technical details later.
Processing relies on the server, so avoid closing the page while the operation is running.

Where processing happens

The file is uploaded to the tool's processing server, handled in memory, then deleted when the operation ends. The file and its result are kept for at most 15 minutes by default before removal. Neither the file name nor its contents are logged, and no third party is involved.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of hidden details can be removed?

The tool targets EXIF, XMP and side profile data attached to the image file. This may cover camera settings, editing history or embedded location clues, depending on what was originally stored in the file.

Which output format should I choose?

Use JPEG for ordinary photo sharing, PNG when you want lossless quality and do not mind a larger file, or WebP for a useful balance on websites. Test the result if the image will be printed or edited again later.

Is the original image changed forever?

No, the tool creates a cleaned output for you to download. Your original stays as it was on your device, so you can keep it for archiving or compare it with the processed version before deciding what to share.
