How to Remove EXIF Data from a Photo
Your photo is re-encoded through the browser's canvas API, which discards all EXIF data including GPS coordinates, device info, and timestamps.

What is EXIF data and why does it matter?
EXIF data is a block of metadata that cameras and smartphones automatically embed in every photo they take. A typical EXIF block contains the GPS latitude and longitude of where the photo was shot, the exact date and time, the camera or phone make and model, lens specs, exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), and sometimes the device owner's name or copyright string. This data is invisible in the image but readable by any EXIF viewer or photo hosting platform.
Privacy risks of sharing photos with EXIF data
When you post a photo to a forum, marketplace, or dating app that does not automatically strip metadata, anyone who downloads the file can read your GPS coordinates. For photos taken at home, this reveals your home address. For photos taken at a hotel, office, or private location, it reveals exactly where you were and when. Removing EXIF data before sharing is a simple step that eliminates this risk entirely.
How this tool removes EXIF data
Rather than parsing and editing the binary EXIF block in the file, this tool takes a simpler and more thorough approach: it draws the image onto an HTML canvas and re-exports it as a new file using the browser's native image encoder. The canvas API only reads pixel data — it ignores and discards all metadata. The resulting file contains only the raw pixel information, with no EXIF, IPTC, XMP, or ICC profile data. The entire operation runs in your browser; the image is never sent to a server.
