See the metadata, then decide.
Choose an image to inspect its actual metadata. Cleaning creates a new copy and checks it again before download.
Embedded Content Credentials can be removed. Invisible watermarks, visible details in the picture and platform AI detection are outside this tool’s scope.
Check your photo before it leaves your device
The picture can look perfectly ordinary while its file contains a location, a name or a creative workflow. This image metadata remover shows supported metadata before you decide to clear it.
Review hidden information
See which metadata blocks are present. Expand the original values to review supported camera, date, author and GPS fields. Text and workflow blocks are identified even when individual values cannot be displayed.
Clean, verify and download
Remove metadata to create a new file. The tool scans the output again before offering a download. Save one image or a ZIP, and use anonymous filenames to avoid sharing identifying names.
WHAT GETS REMOVED
Keep the photo. Leave the hidden details behind.
GPS is only one place to look. The cleaner removes whole supported metadata containers, including repeated text blocks and embedded previews, instead of deleting only the fields it can name.
Location and camera identity
Clear EXIF GPS coordinates, camera and phone details, serial numbers, MakerNotes and embedded EXIF thumbnails. Location fields are present only if the camera or editing software saved them.
Dates, names and comments
Remove supported capture dates, author fields, IPTC records, XMP descriptions, JPEG comments and PNG text. These can connect a supposedly anonymous image to its original owner or editing history.
AI prompts and workflow text
Remove prompt, seed, parameters and workflow information when it is stored in supported text, EXIF or XMP containers. The tool does not infer prompts, inspect your generation account or edit separate sidecar files.
Embedded Content Credentials
Remove embedded C2PA containers from supported images. This removes the in-file provenance record; it does not erase invisible watermarks, outside copies or the ability of a platform to classify an image as AI-generated.
Three image formats, without a second compression pass
The tool edits the file container and copies the original compressed image data. It does not redraw your photo through a canvas or convert it to another format.
JPG / JPEG
REMOVES
EXIF, XMP, IPTC, comments, preview thumbnails, APP11 provenance data and other application metadata.
PRESERVES
Original JPEG image data, a minimal rotation tag when needed, and necessary color interpretation.
PNG
REMOVES
EXIF, plain and compressed text, prompts, workflow text, time records, C2PA and other ancillary metadata outside the display allowlist.
PRESERVES
Original image data, transparency, palette and supported display information. A minimal rotation tag is retained when present.
WebP
REMOVES
EXIF, XMP, C2PA and other application chunks. File lengths and metadata flags are updated.
PRESERVES
Original image data and transparency. A minimal rotation tag is retained when needed.
ICC color profiles are kept by default, including any descriptions inside them. You can remove them in Download & color settings, which may change displayed colors. HEIC, AVIF, GIF, animations, recognized HDR gain-map files and motion photos are not supported in this version. Damaged or unsupported structures are rejected.
A quick privacy check for everyday sharing
Social posts and community forums
Check a photo before posting it to a public feed or forum. Do not rely on every platform to strip the same fields, especially when people can download the original file.
Marketplace listings and anonymous sharing
Clear embedded location and device data from product photos, room photos and profile images. Also review visible house numbers, labels, faces and reflections; metadata removal cannot hide the scene itself.
Creative handoffs and image batches
Remove embedded prompts and workflow text before delivering supported image files. Process a group locally and download a ZIP with generic names. Your original files remain unchanged.
Questions about removing image metadata
How do I remove metadata from an image?
Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP in the tool, review its detected metadata and select Remove metadata. The browser creates and scans a cleaned copy. Download it individually or download a ZIP for multiple completed images.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Selected image files are read and cleaned in a Web Worker in your browser. The image processor does not upload files, metadata values or thumbnails. This tool page does not load the site's analytics, session recording, login or promotional components. Loading the page and public sample still requires normal website requests.
Does this remove GPS location from photos?
It removes GPS saved inside supported EXIF, XMP and text containers. A photo may have no GPS information to begin with. Locations visible in the picture, written into filenames or stored in a separate file need separate attention. Anonymous download names are enabled by default.
Will removing EXIF reduce image quality?
The cleaner copies the original compressed image data without re-encoding it. Dimensions and the minimal rotation tag are checked after cleaning. Necessary display information and ICC profiles are kept by default. Removing an ICC profile can change how colors appear even though the image data is unchanged.
Why can a cleaned image still show metadata?
Width, height and format are structural image properties, not private EXIF fields. A minimal Orientation tag may remain to keep a photo upright. Necessary display data and ICC profiles are kept by default and listed in the result. Profile descriptions can contain text; enable Remove ICC color profiles too if you want those removed. Your operating system also assigns new download timestamps, which are separate from embedded capture dates.
Can it remove AI prompts, seeds and workflow information?
Yes, when those values are embedded in the supported EXIF, XMP or PNG text containers. Common examples include parameters text and workflow JSON. It cannot remove a prompt from another file or a provider's account history, and it does not recover information that was never embedded.
Does removing C2PA make an AI image undetectable?
No. Removing embedded Content Credentials clears that in-file metadata container. Pixel-level watermarks, content fingerprints, outside provenance records and a platform's own detection methods are separate. This tool makes no promise that an image will avoid an AI label.
Can I remove metadata from multiple images for free?
Yes. Select up to 20 supported images, each up to 25 MB, with a total batch size up to 150 MB. The tool processes them locally one at a time. Download successful results as a ZIP; unsupported or failed files are excluded and keep their individual error messages. No account or credits are required.
Does this support HEIC, animated WebP or motion photos?
This version supports ordinary static JPG, PNG and WebP images. It rejects HEIC, AVIF, GIF, detected animations and recognized multi-image, HDR gain-map or motion-photo structures rather than silently converting them or dropping extra frames. Use a standard still-image export for this tool.
Is this an image watermark remover?
It removes embedded metadata, including supported provenance containers. It does not change pixels, erase a visible logo, remove an invisible pixel watermark or redact private information visible in a photograph.
