What is Image Metadata?
Every photo carries hidden data beyond the pixels you see. Our metadata remover strips all of the following from your images — while preserving ICC color profiles for accurate display.
EXIF Data
Camera settings (shutter speed, aperture, ISO), device make & model, serial number, and capture date/time.
GPS Location
Exact latitude, longitude, and altitude where the photo was taken. Can reveal your home, workplace, or travel patterns.
IPTC Metadata
Editorial information like photographer name, copyright notice, keywords, and captions added by news agencies or DAM tools.
XMP Records
Processing history from software like Lightroom or Photoshop, including every edit step, ratings, and labels.
ICC Profile
Color space definition (sRGB, Adobe RGB, Display P3) that tells displays how to render colors accurately.
Embedded Thumbnails
Preview images that may retain the original uncropped photo, potentially exposing content you intended to crop out.
More Than a Metadata Remover — Edit EXIF Before Sharing
Sometimes you need to rewrite metadata, not just remove it. Switch to the Editor tab to correct timestamps, add copyright, or update author credits — then batch-apply changes across all images at once.
Date Taken & Digitized Time
Correct capture timestamps when your camera's clock was wrong, or re-date scanned film. Both DateTimeOriginal and DateTimeDigitized are updated together.
Author / Artist
Embed your name into the EXIF so your credit survives downstream re-sharing. Essential for stock photography and editorial workflows.
Copyright Notice
Write a machine-readable copyright string (e.g. © 2026 Jane Doe) that photo libraries, DAMs, and search engines recognize automatically.
Software Tag
Record which tool processed the image — required by some stock agencies and archival workflows that track processing provenance.
How the Metadata Remover Works
Our metadata remover strips or edits image metadata in four simple steps. All processing happens locally for maximum privacy.
01
02Review & Remove Metadata
See exactly what metadata each image contains — EXIF, GPS coordinates, camera info, IPTC, XMP, and ICC profiles. Then strip all privacy-sensitive data with one click.
03Or Edit Image Metadata
Switch to the Editor tab to rewrite specific EXIF fields — correct timestamps, add copyright or author credits, update the software tag. Batch-apply changes to all images at once.
04Download Clean Files
Download individual cleaned or edited images, or grab everything at once as a ZIP archive. JPEG files are processed losslessly; other formats are re-encoded via Canvas.
Why Use Image Size Finder's Metadata Remover?
Most online metadata removers require you to upload files to their servers. We don't.
Private Metadata Remover
Our metadata remover processes images 100% in the browser. Your files never leave your device — guaranteed privacy compared to other online tools.
Lossless JPEG Processing
JPEG metadata is stripped using piexifjs, which removes EXIF/GPS/IPTC data without re-encoding the image. Zero quality loss, bit-for-bit identical pixels.
Universal Format Support
Works with any image your browser can render — JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and more. No format restrictions, no file size limits.
Batch Processing + ZIP Export
Upload dozens of images at once, strip all metadata in one click, and download everything as a single ZIP file. No per-file limits.
Built-in EXIF Editor
Not just a remover — edit Date Taken, Author, Copyright, and Description fields directly. Perfect for photographers managing credits across a batch of shots.
Free Metadata Remover
This is a completely free metadata remover. No registration, no watermarks, no usage limits. Open the page and protect your privacy.
Metadata Remover FAQ
What is a metadata remover and why use one?
A metadata remover strips EXIF, GPS, and other embedded data from photos. Using a metadata remover is essential for privacy protection before sharing images online.
What image formats are supported?
For removal: any format your browser can display — JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF, TIFF, and more. JPEG uses lossless piexifjs stripping; other formats use Canvas re-encoding. The built-in Editor supports JPEG EXIF fields only.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All processing runs 100% in your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device. Unlike most online tools that process files server-side, we have zero server involvement — there's nothing to trust because nothing is sent.
Does removing metadata affect image quality?
For JPEG files, we use piexifjs which strips metadata without re-encoding — zero quality loss, bit-for-bit identical pixels. For other formats (PNG, WebP, etc.), the image is re-drawn on a Canvas, which may cause minimal differences for lossy formats but is the only way to guarantee all metadata is removed.
What's the difference between the Remover and Editor?
The Remover strips all privacy-sensitive metadata — EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, thumbnails, and maker notes — while preserving the ICC color profile so your image displays with accurate colors. For JPEG files this is done losslessly; other formats are re-encoded via Canvas. The Editor lets you modify specific EXIF fields (date, author, copyright, description) while keeping other data intact — useful for photographers managing image credits or correcting timestamps.
Protect Your Privacy Before You Share
Every photo you post online can carry your GPS location, camera fingerprint, and personal information. Strip it all in seconds — free, private, and instant.
