Remove EXIF Metadata

See exactly what your photo carries, then strip it out. This tool reads the EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC and comment data inside a JPEG or PNG, lists every field it finds, and removes the metadata by cutting those segments out of the file. Nothing is re-encoded, so the pixels stay byte for byte identical. Everything runs in your browser and the photo is never uploaded.

How to remove EXIF metadata

Add your photo

Drop a JPEG or PNG into the tool or click to browse. The metadata is read on your device, so nothing is uploaded.

Read the metadata

Check the camera, shooting and location fields the tool found. A privacy note appears at the top when GPS coordinates are present.

Remove and download

Pick what to strip, click Remove metadata, then download the clean file. The result is re-checked and the pixels are untouched.

Why use Aihangsoft Remove EXIF

Lossless by design

The metadata is cut out of the byte stream. The image data, quality tables and every pixel are copied across untouched, so quality never changes.

See the metadata first

Camera, lens, exposure, ISO and GPS coordinates are listed before you delete anything, so you know exactly what leaves the file.

Nothing is uploaded

Parsing and stripping run in your browser. Private photos and their location data never reach a server.

What you can clean up

Strip EXIF, XMP, IPTC and comments

Remove the APP1 segments that hold EXIF and XMP, the APP13 segment that holds IPTC and Photoshop data, and any COM comment blocks in a single pass.

Use case: photos shared on marketplaces and forums

Remove GPS location data

Latitude, longitude and altitude are shown in decimal degrees when present, and the whole location block disappears once you strip the metadata.

Use case: posting photos publicly, selling a used phone

Keep or drop the color profile

The default keeps the ICC color profile so colors look the same everywhere and strips everything else. Switch to including color profile to remove that too.

Use case: print workflows, brand color accuracy

JPEG and PNG support

JPEG marker segments and PNG tEXt, zTXt, iTXt and eXIf chunks are handled natively, with PNG checksums recalculated so the output file stays valid.

Use case: web uploads, photo libraries, mixed folders

Remove EXIF FAQ

Yes. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded. There is no sign-up, no file limit and no fee, and nothing is added to the image.
Only JPEG and PNG. Camera formats such as HEIC, plus TIFF and WebP, are not supported, and the tool tells you so instead of failing silently.
No. The metadata is cut out of the byte stream instead of re-encoding the image, so the compressed pixel data, quality tables and color data stay byte for byte identical.
Yes. When a photo carries GPS coordinates, the tool shows a privacy note and lists the latitude, longitude and altitude. Stripping the metadata removes that whole block.
Everything except color profile strips EXIF, XMP, IPTC and comments while keeping the ICC color profile so colors stay accurate. Everything including color profile removes the ICC profile as well.
Yes. After stripping, the tool re-reads the output file and reports that no metadata segments remain, or lists anything it still finds.
