About EXIF data
Phones and cameras store extra information in each photo, called EXIF data. It often includes the exact GPS location, the date and time and the camera or phone model. Anyone who gets the original file can read it.
Some social networks remove it when you upload. Email, cloud links, websites and messaging apps that send files as documents usually keep it.
| Data | Example | Removed |
|---|---|---|
| GPS location | Your home's exact coordinates | Yes |
| Date and time | When the photo was taken | Yes |
| Camera or phone | Make, model, lens, settings | Yes |
| Editing software | The app used to edit it | Yes |
| Colour profile | How colours should look | No, kept so colours stay right |
Image quality
The metadata is removed without saving the image again. The pixel data is copied byte for byte, so the quality stays exactly the same and the file gets slightly smaller.
The tool removes EXIF data including GPS, XMP data and comments. The colour profile stays, so colours look the same. The downloaded files keep their original names.
Privacy
The data is removed in your browser. Your photos are not uploaded, so the location never leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove the location from a photo?
Add the photo and click Convert. The row confirms that the location was removed. Share the downloaded copy, because the original still contains it.
Does removing EXIF data reduce quality?
No. The image data isn't encoded again or changed in any way. Only the metadata is removed.
Does it work on iPhone HEIC photos?
No. Convert HEIC to JPG first. That removes the metadata by default too.
Can other tools here remove metadata too?
Yes. The image converters, Compress image and Resize image all have a Metadata option. It is set to Remove by default.
How can I check that the data is gone?
Add the downloaded copy here again and click Convert. The row will say No metadata found.
