Remove Image Metadata Online (Free EXIF Scrubber)

Every photo taken with a smartphone or digital camera contains hidden EXIF metadata including GPS coordinates, device model, timestamp, camera settings, and editing software. This tool strips all metadata from JPEG, PNG, and WebP images entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — your image is never uploaded to any server.

What EXIF Data Gets Removed?

  • GPS coordinates (exact latitude/longitude where the photo was taken)
  • Device information (camera make and model, e.g. iPhone 15 Pro, Canon EOS R6)
  • Timestamps (exact date and time the photo was captured)
  • Camera settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length)
  • Software tags (Lightroom, Photoshop, VSCO)
  • Embedded thumbnail and copyright information

How the EXIF Scrubber Works

The image is drawn onto an invisible HTML5 Canvas element. The canvas exports only the raw pixel data as a new image file, producing a clean image with zero metadata. Your original file is untouched and nothing is ever uploaded.

When to Remove Photo Metadata

  • Before sharing photos on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter)
  • Before selling photos on stock sites or NFT platforms
  • When posting to forums or public websites anonymously
  • Any time GPS location data in photos could compromise your safety
