Strip EXIF metadata from a photo online before you share it. Photos quietly carry hidden data — including GPS location, camera model, and the exact time taken. Removing it protects your privacy without changing how the image looks.
What EXIF metadata reveals about you
Photos quietly carry hidden EXIF data: the camera and settings, the exact time taken, and — most sensitively — often the GPS coordinates where the shot was taken. Post a photo from home and you may be publishing your address. Removing EXIF before you share protects your privacy without changing the picture.
Removing it doesn’t change how the image looks
Only the metadata is stripped; every pixel stays exactly the same, so the image is visually identical. The photo is uploaded to strip the data and deleted automatically an hour later.

Tips
- Many photos taken on a phone store the exact GPS coordinates where they were shot — worth removing before you post from home.

EXIF is hidden information stored in a photo — camera settings, timestamp, and often the GPS coordinates where it was taken. Removing it stops that being shared along with the picture.
Does removing EXIF change how the image looks?
No. Only the metadata is removed; every pixel stays exactly the same.
Is the photo uploaded to remove the data?
Yes — your image is uploaded so our server can do the work, and it is deleted automatically an hour later. No account is needed.
