EXIF Stripper
Photos quietly carry your GPS location, device model, and timestamps. Clean them here before you post, share, or send an image to an AI service.
Nothing is uploaded. Your photo is read with FileReader and cleaned on a canvas entirely inside your browser.What gets removed
GPS location
Latitude, longitude, and altitude of where the photo was taken - often precise enough to identify your home or workplace.
Device details
Camera or phone make and model, lens, software version, and sometimes the device serial number.
Timestamps
Exact date and time of capture, including the original and digitized timestamps.
Everything else
Thumbnails, editing history (XMP), IPTC captions, and maker notes. Redrawing the pixels to a fresh canvas discards all embedded metadata, even fields this page cannot list.

How it works: the browser decodes your photo's pixels, this page redraws them onto a fresh canvas, and re-encodes a brand-new file. Metadata lives in the file container, not the pixels, so none of it survives the trip - GPS, EXIF, XMP, IPTC, ICC profiles, thumbnails, all gone. The scan above shows metadata blocks this page can detect in JPEG and PNG files, but the browser cannot display every EXIF field; the canvas redraw removes them all regardless. Two things to know: modern browsers apply EXIF orientation while decoding, so the cleaned image stays right-side up; and re-encoding to JPEG is lossy, so keep quality at 90%+ (or choose PNG) if you need maximum fidelity. Also handy before sending images to vision APIs - see the Image Compressor and Image Resizer.
