Photos often store where they were taken, when, and which phone or camera was used. Clean that metadata here before you share the file.
How to use this EXIF cleaner
- Choose a JPEG, PNG, or WebP, or drop it on the dashed box. Nothing is uploaded.
- Review the identifying fields. Everything shown is checked to remove.
- Uncheck a field only if you want to keep it.
- Click Remove selected, then Download. You get a copy; the original on your disk is not overwritten.
Orientation and the ICC color profile stay in the file so the photo does not flip or shift color.

What metadata is removed?
Fields that can identify where, when, and which device was used, plus author, contact, and document packets when present. Orientation and the color profile are kept so the photo does not flip or change color.
