Remove EXIF Data: free online, fast and secure
Photos from phones contain hidden EXIF data: the exact GPS location where the photo was taken, the date and time, your phone model and sometimes editing software. When you share the original file, anyone can read this information.
This tool removes all hidden metadata by redrawing each photo cleanly, and tells you what was found. Batch-clean many photos before posting them online, sending them to buyers or sharing them with strangers.
How to use Remove EXIF Data
- Add photos. Select one or many images straight from your camera roll.
- Automatic cleaning. Each photo is redrawn without metadata. The tool shows what was removed: GPS, camera, date or software.
- Download clean copies. Save the clean photos individually or as a ZIP.

Good to know
Two numbers describe every digital image: its dimensions in pixels (for example 1600×1200) and its file size in KB or MB. Dimensions decide how sharp the picture looks; file size decides how fast it loads and whether a form accepts it. Format matters too: JPG is best for photos, PNG for graphics and transparency, WEBP and AVIF for websites. Remove EXIF Data lets you control these things without Photoshop, and because everything runs locally, you can experiment as many times as you like without waiting for uploads.

How Remove EXIF Data keeps your photos and images private
Most online converters upload your file to their server, process it there and send it back. That costs time, uses your data pack and means a copy of your file sits on someone else’s computer. Remove EXIF Data works differently: the page loads the tool into your browser, and your photos and images are processed by your own phone or computer. The file never travels over the internet, so it cannot be leaked, stored or misused.
Using Remove EXIF Data on your phone
Remove EXIF Data is designed for small screens. Buttons are large, options are simple, and downloads save directly to your phone storage. On iPhone, downloaded files appear in the Files app under Downloads; on Android they go to the Downloads folder.
