Image EXIF Remover

View EXIF data (capture date, GPS location, etc.) embedded in an image and download a copy with it removed.

Overview

  • Checks the EXIF data (capture date, camera model, GPS location, etc.) embedded in a JPEG image and lets you download a copy with it removed.
  • Photos taken with a smartphone or digital camera can automatically embed detailed information, including location data. Useful for checking whether a photo contains information you didn't intend to share before posting it on social media or a website.
  • Processing runs entirely in your browser, and the image is never sent to an external server.

Usage

  1. Click the image area to select a JPEG image, or drag and drop one.
  2. The detected EXIF data is displayed as a list.
  3. Use the "Download image with EXIF removed" link to download a copy with the EXIF data removed.

Example

Input

A JPEG image containing GPS location and capture date

Output

Make: Apple, DateTimeOriginal: 2026-01-01T12:00:00.000Z, latitude: 35.68..., ...

Use Cases

  • Checking whether GPS location data is included before posting a photo to social media or a blog
  • Removing information such as camera equipment or capture date from photos posted to a marketplace app or portfolio site
  • Checking what information is embedded in an image received from someone else

FAQ

Does this support image formats other than JPEG, such as PNG or WebP?

Currently only JPEG is supported. The library used to remove EXIF data (piexifjs) is JPEG-specific, so other formats are not supported.

Is the image I upload sent anywhere?

No. Reading and removing EXIF data runs entirely in your browser, and the image is never sent to an external server.

What happens if no EXIF data is detected?

"No EXIF data was detected." is displayed. Even in that case, you can still download the same image (without EXIF) from the download link.

Does the image quality degrade?

No. Since the image isn't re-encoded through a canvas and only the EXIF segment within the JPEG file is removed, the image quality is preserved as-is.

Notes

  • Only the JPEG format (.jpg / .jpeg) is supported. The file size limit is 10MB.
  • Binary EXIF tags, such as embedded thumbnail images, are excluded from the displayed list.
  • MakerNote (manufacturer-specific binary data) is excluded from reading.
