EXIF Remover
Every phone photo can carry hidden luggage: GPS coordinates of where it was taken, your camera model, timestamps, sometimes even serial numbers. This tool removes all of it by re-encoding the image from its raw pixels — metadata has nowhere to hide in a freshly drawn canvas, so EXIF, GPS, thumbnails and comments are all gone.
The result keeps the original format and a visually identical picture (92% quality for JPG and WebP), and each row shows the size before and after. Batch mode scrubs a whole folder of photos in one pass, all offline on your device.
Frequently asked questions
How does re-encoding remove metadata?
The image is decoded to raw pixels and redrawn onto a blank canvas, then encoded again. Metadata lives in special file sections outside the pixels, and a fresh encoding simply does not include them — so EXIF, GPS, thumbnails and editing history are dropped completely.
Does removing EXIF change how the photo looks?
No visible change. Pixels are preserved at 92% JPEG/WebP quality (PNG is lossless), so the picture looks identical to the eye. One side effect: rotation stored only as an EXIF orientation flag gets baked into the pixels, which actually makes the file display more consistently across apps.
Can I remove metadata without re-compressing the image?
Not in a browser-based way that stays safe. Lossless metadata stripping requires rewriting the file container — PNGs can be cleaned losslessly with special tools, but for JPEG the reliable, simple approach is exactly this re-encode. PNG inputs here stay bit-perfect in pixels.
