How Remove Image Metadata works
Remove removable EXIF, XMP, IPTC, camera, software, GPS, and author metadata from common web images. This guide explains the workflow in plain language so you know what happens before you upload, scan, clean, verify, and download.
Upload privately
Choose a supported JPG, PNG, WebP, TIFF file. The file is used for this job only and temporary uploads are scheduled for deletion.
Scan metadata
Remove Image Metadata checks file-specific metadata indicators and separates private findings from routine technical data.
Review and clean
Select the detected metadata categories you want to remove, then run the cleaner for that file type.
Verify before sharing
The cleaned output is scanned again so you can confirm whether removable private metadata is still detected.
What this tool checks
Private metadata
Author names, device fields, timestamps, location data, document properties, hidden comments, or provenance data depending on file type.
Technical data
Format, size, codec, dimensions, page count, and other compatibility data may remain because files need it to open correctly.
Verification status
Cleaner tools re-scan outputs and show whether removable private metadata is still detected by the current scanners.
Privacy-first workflow
- Temporary files are scheduled for deletion after the processing window.
- Reports focus on metadata categories instead of exposing your file content.
- Scan-only tools do not modify your original file.
- Cleaner tools create a new output file and keep the original separate.
