Remove EXIF data, without the upload step
Photos can contain EXIF metadata such as camera settings, capture time, lens details, and GPS coordinates. Metadata can be useful for organizing an archive, but it may reveal more than you intend when an image is shared publicly. This tool redraws the image and creates a fresh file without the source metadata.
The image is decoded with its stored orientation applied, then re-encoded in the browser. The output preserves the visible appearance while removing embedded metadata. Because this involves re-encoding, JPEG output is not byte-for-byte identical and may have a different file size.
Use the local EXIF inspector to check whether a JPEG contains EXIF and GPS tags before processing. Metadata formats differ across file types, and some image formats may contain other kinds of ancillary data. The safest way to verify a sensitive image is to inspect the downloaded copy with a trusted metadata viewer before sharing it.
Files are decoded and processed on your device. They are not uploaded to an ImageKit server, and the original files are never overwritten.

Frequently asked questions
Does this remove GPS location?
The image is re-encoded from decoded pixels, removing EXIF metadata including GPS tags from the output.
Will the photo rotate correctly?
The browser applies EXIF orientation while decoding, so the new image is saved with the visible orientation.
Are photos uploaded?
Your image stays in this browser tab. Processing runs locally on your device; the image file is not sent to an ImageKit server.
