Share Photos Without Sharing Your Private Information
Your photos look safe on the surface, but they hide digital footprints. Instantly strip EXIF metadata, GPS geotags, and software signatures in one click - fully offline, right in your browser.
Drop your photo here or click to browse
Processed 100% locally. Supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP images.
Zero Upload Privacy
Your files never leave your device. All extraction and cleaning is processed 100% locally in your browser sandbox.
GPS Geotag Deletion
Protect your physical safety. Remove absolute coordinates, altitude, and mapping identifiers from public images.
Professional Trust
Sanitize client work, screenshots, and product photos to avoid leaking internal tools, software versions, or design timelines.
Why Check & Clean Your Photos?
Every time you take a photo, your device writes hidden metadata. This private information is carried with the file whenever you upload, share, or email it.
What metadata is hidden?
Exact GPS geocoordinates, camera profiles, unique hardware serial numbers, capture timestamps, and editing software signatures.
Why remove it?
Protect your physical safety, prevent data scrapers from tracking your home location, and safeguard corporate data confidentiality.
Who benefits?
Individuals protecting their home privacy, and digital agencies, developers, or creators sanitizing deliverable files for clients.
When to Clean
Always inspect and sanitize files before posting or delivering them in these frequent situations:
Private Entryways & vacant schedules
Remove coordinates so listing photos don't leak private entryways or vacant schedules.
Internal author IDs & versions
Ensure corporate drafts don't leak internal author IDs, software versions, or timestamps.
Routes, playgrounds & addresses
Sanitize uploads of children or personal outings to protect routes, playgrounds, and home addresses.

FAQ & Privacy Standards
Is there any telemetry or tracking in the standalone apps?
None. In accordance with our core engineering principles, our standalone applications do not contain any analytical trackers, advertising scripts, or background telemetry. They function 100% offline.
Why do I need a standalone desktop or mobile application?
Mobile browsers (especially Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android) have strict memory limits for browser tabs. If you upload large photographs, RAW files, or try to clean a batch of multiple images, the browser sandbox may throttle processing or crash. Our standalone native applications run direct file operations at full system speed without browser layer constraints.
How does the photo metadata stripper safeguard my privacy?
Whether you use the web version or the standalone native applications, all metadata parsing and pixel stripping are executed 100% locally on your device. Your original photographs are never uploaded to any external servers, ensuring absolute protection of your location, creation timestamps, and device identity.
What specific metadata fields does this tool strip?
This tool performs a complete excision of non-pixel headers including: EXIF metadata (camera settings, shutter speed, aperture), GPS geotags (exact coordinates, altitude), IPTC data (creator, copyright), XMP sidecars (edit logs, software tags), and C2PA credentials (AI generation engines and prompts).
Can I audit the source code of these apps?
Yes. The photo metadata stripper is fully open-source and auditable on GitHub, allowing developers to inspect the file buffers, sanitization routines, and verify the absence of external network calls.
