EXIF Remover
Remove location, camera details and other metadata from photos before you share them, without recompressing: the pixels stay exactly the same. Clean one photo or a whole batch.

Drop your photos
JPEG, PNG or WebP, any number.
Choose what to keep
Orientation and colour profile are kept by default.
Download
Each cleaned file, or all of them as a ZIP.
Check
Open a cleaned file in the EXIF viewer to confirm.
Keep the orientation option on, or portrait photos may appear sideways after cleaning.
Features
Lossless
Image data is copied byte for byte, with no recompression or quality loss.
JPEG, PNG and WebP
Removes EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, comments, text and time chunks.
Keeps photos upright
Optionally keeps only the orientation tag, so portraits don't turn sideways.
Keeps colours right
Optionally keeps the ICC colour profile, which identifies nothing about you.
Batch and ZIP
Clean dozens of photos at once and download them together.
Shows what was removed
Per-file list of removed blocks, GPS status and size saved.
About the EXIF Remover
Most metadata removers re-save the image, which means another round of JPEG compression and a slightly worse photo. This tool works on the file structure instead. In a JPEG it drops the EXIF, XMP, IPTC/Photoshop and comment segments and copies the compressed image data byte for byte. In PNG it removes text, EXIF and time chunks. In WebP it removes the EXIF and XMP chunks and updates the header flags. The result looks identical because it is identical. Only the metadata is gone.
Two things are worth keeping. Phones often store photos sideways with an orientation tag that tells viewers to rotate them, so removing it makes portraits appear on their side. The tool keeps just that one tag by default, and nothing else. The colour profile (ICC) describes the photo's colours, so wide-gamut photos from newer phones can look dull without it. It identifies nothing about you, so it's kept by default too. Untick either option for a completely bare file.
Drop as many photos as you like. Each row shows what was removed (including whether there was a GPS location) and the size saved, and you can download files one by one or as a ZIP. HEIC photos from iPhones can't be cleaned losslessly here. Convert them to JPEG first, or use the iPhone's share sheet option to send without location.
