Remove EXIF Data From a Photo, Without Recompressing It

Photos carry more than pixels: where you were, what phone you used, when you pressed the button. This page removes that metadata right on your device, free, and hands back the same picture with none of it inside.

How to remove EXIF data from a photo, without recompressing it

  1. Tap Choose a photo and pick the JPG or PNG you want cleaned.
  2. Press Remove EXIF data. The file is read on your device — nothing is uploaded.
  3. Leave Keep the colour profile off unless exact colours matter more than a fully scrubbed file.
  4. Save the result. Its name ends in -no-exif, so it can never be confused with the original.

What goes, and what stays

Everything that describes the photograph rather than showing it: the EXIF block with GPS coordinates, the camera model, the lens, the serial number and the exact second you pressed the shutter; XMP tags recording which apps edited the file and how; Photoshop/IPTC blocks carrying captions and credits; text comments and timestamps; and any data hidden after the end of the image, which is where motion photos park their video clip. On a PNG the text chunks, the EXIF chunk and the embedded colour profile go too.

The picture itself is untouchable as far as this tool is concerned: the compressed image data is copied byte for byte, and so are the structural parts every decoder needs. A cleaned photo opens anywhere the original did, at the same width and height, with the same file extension.

Why the photo never loses quality here

Most free EXIF removers work by opening your picture and saving it again. Every re-save is a fresh JPEG compression: detail softens, artefacts creep in, and some services quietly shrink the resolution while they are at it. This page never decodes your photo. It reads the container, deletes the metadata sections, and stitches everything else back together unchanged — so the pixels you get are the pixels you gave, and the file can only shrink, never degrade.

That is also why the tool is instant even on a 12-megabyte phone photo: moving bytes is all that happens.

The one setting, explained honestly

A colour profile is metadata, but it is the one piece that changes how the photo LOOKS rather than what the photo tells people about you. Wide-colour photos shot on newer phones carry a Display P3 profile; strip it and a browser assumes plain sRGB, which mutes saturated colours slightly. So the profile goes by default — a fully scrubbed file is the promise — and the switch above puts it back for anyone whose colours matter more than their metadata.

Photographers publishing their own work should know that IPTC credit blocks are removed along with everything else. For exam portals, marketplaces and chat apps that is exactly what you want; if you need your name inside the file, this is the wrong tool for that job.

Questions

Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The cleaning runs entirely inside your browser tab — the software reads the file from your disk, strips the metadata sections in memory, and hands you the result. There is no upload step at all, and the page keeps working offline once it has loaded.
Does removing EXIF data reduce image quality?
Not here. Because the compressed picture data is copied untouched, quality is mathematically identical to the original — the output is smaller only because the metadata is gone. Tools that re-encode cannot say the same.
Will the photo still display correctly without its colour profile?
Yes on ordinary screens. On wide-colour displays a saturated photo can look slightly less vivid, because the browser falls back to assuming standard sRGB. If that bothers you, turn on Keep the colour profile before running.
What about motion photos and other data hidden after the picture?
Removed too. Some phones append a short video after the end of the JPEG, and that clip carries its own recording details. This tool cuts the file at the true end of the image and reports how many bytes of stowaways went with it.
Can I clean a whole batch of photos at once?
Yes — drop up to twenty JPG or PNG files. Each comes back renamed with -no-exif so you can tell the copies apart, and the summary tells you what was found across the whole batch.
