How It Works
01
Local Processing
Your image is read directly by your browser using the File API. No data is sent to any server at any point.
02
EXIF Parsing
The open-source exifr library reads metadata including GPS coordinates, camera model, lens, exposure settings, and timestamps.
03
EXIF Removal
To strip metadata, the image is redrawn on an HTML Canvas and exported as a fresh JPEG — all EXIF data is discarded in the process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my photo uploaded to your server?
No. Your photo never leaves your device. All EXIF reading and removal is performed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. There is no backend involved.
What image formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, and WebP files are supported for EXIF reading. For EXIF removal, the output is always saved as a JPEG file, since JPEG is the standard format that carries EXIF data.
Does removing EXIF data reduce image quality?
The canvas-based export applies a 95% JPEG quality setting, which is visually lossless for most photos. There is a very slight re-encoding, but it is not perceptible under normal use.
What kind of data does EXIF contain?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) metadata typically includes: GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude), camera make and model, lens information, date and time taken, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, and software used to edit or export the photo.
Can I process multiple photos at once?
Yes. You can select or drop multiple image files at once. Use the file tabs to inspect each image's metadata individually, or use the "Download All (Cleaned)" button to strip EXIF from all files in one go.
Why should I remove EXIF data before sharing photos?
GPS metadata embedded in a photo can reveal the exact location where it was taken — including your home or workplace. Camera and device information can also be used to identify you. Stripping EXIF data is a simple privacy measure before posting photos online.
