About this tool: Free Image Metadata Remover
Redraw images through browser canvas to create clean copies without common embedded metadata. No upload required — everything runs locally in your browser for privacy and speed.
Common use cases
- Canvas export creates a fresh image file and does not preserve most embedded metadata.
- Keep the original if you need camera, color, or authorship metadata later.
Stripping metadata before you share
A photo carries more than the picture: camera model, timestamps, and often the GPS coordinates of where it was taken. Removing that before publishing is a privacy step, not a technicality.
What to strip, and when
- 1
Remove location first
GPS coordinates are the most sensitive field and the one most likely to be overlooked when sharing a photo publicly.
- 2
Consider the timing too
Creation timestamps reveal when a place was empty, which is exactly what some photos should not disclose.
- 3
Keep a copy with metadata
Strip a copy for publishing and archive the original, so you do not lose the record you may want later.
Metadata removal questions
- Does removing metadata change how the image looks?
- No. Orientation is the one exception, so confirm the image is not rotated after the strip.
- Is the original modified?
- No, the tool writes a new file. Your source keeps its metadata.
- Is it done locally?
- Yes. The metadata is stripped in your browser, so the original file never leaves it.
