Remove EXIF metadata from photos and PDFs
Every photo you take carries a hidden note: where you were, which phone you used, what time it was. This takes the note out before you send the picture anywhere.
How it works
Add a file
JPG, PNG and WebP photos, and PDFs, can all carry hidden details.
Strip it
One click removes the location, camera model, date, time and software tags in a single pass.
Download the clean copy
The picture comes back looking exactly the same, minus the note.
One photo at a time, as many as you like. Nothing queues and there's no daily cap.
It is processed on your machine
This is the kind of content people are most nervous about pasting into a website. Here nothing is transmitted: your browser reads the input, the tool works on it in the tab, and the result is handed straight back. Close the tab and it is gone.
- Opened from your disk by your browser — not sent anywhere first.
- Held in the tab while the tool works, then dropped.
- Saved to your device by your browser, not by a link to a server.
- Closing the tab clears the working copy completely.
- No account, so nothing is ever attached to an identity.
- No tracking of what you worked on or what was inside the file.
There is no queue and no retention policy to read. Whatever you pasted is released the moment the tab closes. See how your data stays inside the tab for the full picture, or follow the DevTools check to verify your file never leaves.
What people use it for
Posting photos without giving away your address
The coordinates inside a photo can point straight at your house, which is more than a marketplace buyer needs to know.
Sending photos to clients or publishers
Camera serial numbers, lens details and editing software don't need to travel with the image.
Clearing screenshots
Screenshots can carry the app name, your account name and a timestamp.
Meeting a submission rule
Some competitions, journals and press outlets require images with the data removed.

When something goes wrong
Invalid input stops with a plain message that points at the exact problem, rather than a spinner that never finishes.
The content is not in the shape this tool expects. Check for a missing bracket or an extra character and try again.
Why not an online service
A hosted version of this tool means your input is transmitted to a server you have no relationship with. Removing that step removes the whole category of risk.

Questions
What is EXIF data?
A block of details your camera or phone writes into the photo file: when it was taken, which device took it, what settings were used, and often exactly where you were standing.
What exactly gets removed?
Location coordinates, camera make and model, lens details, date and time, and the name of any software that touched the file.
Does the photo look any different?
No. The picture itself isn't touched — only the note attached to it.
Does it work on PNG and screenshots?
Yes. PNG stores its details slightly differently from a photo, and they're cleared too.
Do screenshots really carry this data?
Often less than a camera photo, but they can include the app that made them, the device, and the time.
Can I strip a whole folder of photos?
One photo at a time. There's no queue and no daily cap, so you can work through a folder as quickly as you can add files.
