What does Metadata Stripper do?

Photos often carry hidden EXIF data such as GPS location, camera model, and timestamps. This tool re-encodes images to remove that metadata before you share them.

Stripping happens locally in the browser, so sensitive metadata is never uploaded anywhere in the process.

Remove EXIF location, device, and timestamp data from images.
Reduce privacy exposure before posting photos publicly.
Process files locally without a server round-trip.

Common use cases

Removing GPS data before posting online
Cleaning photos before sending to clients
Protecting privacy on shared images
