What is EXIF Data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata automatically embedded in photos by cameras and smartphones. It can include your GPS coordinates, the exact date and time the photo was taken, your camera model and serial number, lens settings, and even your phone's software version.
Why Should You Remove EXIF Data?
When you share photos online, you may unknowingly share your precise location, home address, daily routine, or device information. Removing EXIF data before sharing protects your privacy. This is especially important for photos taken at home, photos of children, or any image shared publicly on social media.

How Does EXIF Removal Work?
This tool strips EXIF data by redrawing the image onto an HTML5 Canvas and exporting it as a fresh JPEG or PNG. The canvas API does not preserve any embedded metadata, so the downloaded file is completely clean. The original image on your device is never modified.
Privacy
Everything runs 100% in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server. The EXIF reading uses a built-in JavaScript parser, and the metadata removal uses the browser's canvas API.
