What is Hidden in Your Photos?
When you take a picture with your smartphone or digital camera, it saves more than just the image. It embeds a hidden layer of data called EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format).
This metadata can include sensitive information that you might not want to share with the world:
- GPS Coordinates: The exact location (latitude & longitude) where the photo was taken.
- Device Info: Your phone model, camera settings, and software version.
- Timestamps: The exact date and time of the capture.
Why you should Remove EXIF Data
If you upload a photo to social media or send it via email, you might be accidentally doxing yourself. Stalkers or criminals can extract the GPS location from a harmless photo of your pet or your home key and find out exactly where you live.
Using a Metadata Remover creates a “clean” copy of your image, stripping away this invisible digital footprint.
How this Tool Protects You
Unlike other “online” tools, our EXIF Remover operates under a strict privacy policy: No Uploads.
The “Canvas Redraw” Technique
We do not just delete the text tags; we re-process the image.
- Your browser loads the image into memory.
- We draw a pixel-perfect copy onto a blank digital canvas.
- We export this new canvas as a fresh file.
This ensures that 100% of hidden data is gone, because the new file is literally a brand new image created from scratch.
- Supports: JPG, PNG, WebP.
- Privacy: Your photos never leave your device. Processing happens offline via JavaScript.
