Remove EXIF Data from Images – 100% Private & Local

What does the EXIF remover do?

Read detected fields before exporting

The tool reads available GPS coordinates, camera make and model, and capture date from a compatible source image. It shows only fields the browser can read; it does not guess at information that is not present. The original file is left unchanged while the browser prepares a separately named output copy.

That copy can be useful when a photo needs to be shared publicly, attached to a listing, included in a portfolio, sent to a customer or posted to a web service. It is still important to retain the source file separately and use the completed copy only for the purpose you have checked.

What information can a photo contain?

GPS, camera and date information

Exif information may include camera settings, a device make and model, date and time details, image orientation and geographic coordinates. The exact fields depend on the device, app, image format and previous export history. Some files have no readable EXIF data, while other images can include only a small subset.

The preview panel focuses on three practical categories: GPS, camera and date. If no relevant field is found, the tool reports that outcome rather than claiming metadata was discovered. After a new copy is created, the status panel distinguishes source fields from fields that are not copied into the new export.

How to create a privacy-focused delivery copy

Keep the source and export a separate copy

1. Keep the original image in an archive or a folder that will not be shared.
2. Use the local tool to select a supported JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or HEIC source file.
3. Review any detected GPS, camera and date fields before making a new export.
4. Select an output format that recipients can open, then create and download the new copy.
5. Open the completed file and use the review process appropriate for your situation.

For many ordinary sharing tasks, a newly exported delivery copy is easier to manage than trying to edit individual embedded tags. It does not replace specialist review or organisation-specific procedures where metadata removal must be independently verified.

Format and verification limits

When specialist review is appropriate

Supported source formats and results depend on browser capabilities and the individual file. The output is a new JPG, PNG or WebP image, not an in-place edit to the original. Not every kind of metadata is necessarily readable by the preview, and regulated, legal, forensic or safety-critical workflows require the specialist verification process applicable to that work.

If your next priority is file weight rather than metadata exposure, use the local image compressor to create a smaller delivery copy and compare the reported output size before using it.
