What is EXIF Data?

Hidden metadata that could compromise your privacy

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data is metadata automatically embedded in photos by cameras and smartphones. This hidden information reveals more than you might think:

Camera Information

  • Camera make and model
  • Lens specifications
  • Camera settings (ISO, f-stop, exposure)
  • Image resolution and dimensions

Personal Information

  • GPS location coordinates
  • Date and time taken
  • Device orientation
  • Software used for editing

Privacy Risks

EXIF data can reveal your home address, daily routines, or places you frequent. When sharing images online, this metadata poses significant privacy risks. Our tool removes all EXIF metadata while preserving your image quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about removing EXIF data

Is it really free to use?
Yep, totally free. No catch, no credit card, no email required. Process as many photos as you want. We built this because privacy tools should be free for everyone.
Do you store my images?
Nope. Your photos stay on your device the whole time. Everything runs in your browser using JavaScript. We literally can't see your photos even if we wanted to (which we don't).
What image formats are supported?
We support JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP, and HEIC/HEIF formats. JPEG images typically contain the most EXIF data, while formats like PNG may have limited metadata.

✅ HEIC Support:

iPhone HEIC/HEIF photos are now fully supported! We automatically convert HEIC files to JPEG and remove all EXIF data in one step.

Will removing EXIF data affect image quality?
No, removing EXIF data does not affect image quality. The visual content of your photo remains exactly the same - we only remove the hidden metadata. Your images will look identical before and after processing.
Can I process multiple images at once?
Yes! You can drag and drop multiple images or select multiple files at once. Our bulk feature allows you to:
  • Select specific images with checkboxes
  • Use "Select All" to quickly choose all processed images
  • Download selected images as a ZIP file
  • Use keyboard shortcut Ctrl+A (or Cmd+A on Mac) to select all
Is there a file size limit?
We support files up to 50MB each. This covers virtually all consumer camera photos and most professional images. Since processing happens locally in your browser, larger files may take a bit longer but will still work perfectly.

Does Facebook remove EXIF data?
Yes, Facebook removes most EXIF data when you upload photos, but they may retain some information for their internal use. For maximum privacy, we recommend removing EXIF data before uploading to any social media platform, including Facebook, Instagram (owned by Meta), and WhatsApp.
Does Reddit remove EXIF data?
Reddit removes EXIF data from images uploaded directly to their platform (i.reddit.com). But if you link to images hosted elsewhere, the EXIF data remains intact. Always remove EXIF data before uploading to be safe.
Mac: How to remove EXIF data?
