Photo Metadata Remover - Remove photo metadata & protect privacy

Enhance your privacy by eliminating Exif and IPTC metadata from images before sharing or uploading them.

You can easily strip away Exif metadata and, if desired, IPTC metadata from your pictures. 

This information is automatically embedded when you capture the images, including:

• Brand of the camera or phone

• Model of the camera or phone

• GPS coordinates (if available)

• Date and time the image was captured

• Lens specifications (varies by device)

• Light source information

• Aperture value

• Exposure duration

• ISO settings

• Focal length measurements

• Flash settings

• Software names used for editing or processing the image

• Subject distance (varies by device)

• And much more!

This means you won't be disclosing unnecessary details within your photos to others anymore.

Additionally, social media platforms will no longer be able to gather metadata from your uploaded images to create an advertising profile about you.

This Free Tool Silently Protects Your Privacy in Seconds: An Essential Digital Shield

After discovering that a casual park photo shared online contained exact GPS coordinates of my home, I immediately downloaded this metadata remover – and it’s since become non-negotiable for every image I share. The brilliance lies in its surgical precision: drag any photo onto the minimalist interface, toggle between removing EXIF data (camera specs, GPS, timestamps) or IPTC details (copyrights, captions), and watch it purge hundreds of invisible data points in under three seconds. I tested it on vacation shots before uploading; while the visual quality remained pristine, all traces of my camera model, lens type, and exact hiking trail location vanished completely.

The batch processing feature revolutionized my workflow before client deliveries – scrubbing 200+ project photos simultaneously while preserving originals as backups. Unlike bloated photo editors, this hyper-focused tool demands zero permissions, contains no ads, and never touches cloud servers. Most crucially, it breaks the surveillance chain: social platforms can’t harvest shutter speeds or device fingerprints to reinforce ad profiles when the metadata simply doesn’t exist. For content creators, journalists, or anyone valuing discretion, it’s digital self-defense at industrial strength.

Privacy FAQs Resolved:

Q: Will stripping metadata alter image quality or resolution?

A: Absolutely not. Only invisible metadata is removed – pixels remain untouched. Your photos look identical to humans but anonymous to data scrapers.

Q: Does this prevent social platforms from tracking me through photos?

A: Yes. Without EXIF/IPTC tags, platforms lose critical data points (like location or device IDs) used to link images to your behavioral profile.

Q: Are edited/screenshot images also affected by metadata?

A: Yes. Screenshots retain timestamp and device data, while edited images may embed software names. This tool erases both.

Q: Why remove IPTC if EXIF seems riskier?

A: IPTC often contains creator names, copyrights, or keywords – critical for professionals who need anonymity when sharing drafts or sensitive visuals.
