About this strip image metadata
This tool previews the metadata embedded in an image — details such as camera model, capture settings, and sometimes GPS location — then removes most of it by re-encoding the image. The cleaned file keeps the picture but drops the hidden information.
Photos often carry more than the image itself, and that EXIF data can reveal where and when a shot was taken. Stripping it before publishing or sharing protects privacy. Review the previewed fields first so you know exactly what the original was carrying.
Common uses
- Remove location and camera EXIF data from a photo before posting it publicly.
- Strip hidden metadata from images before sharing them outside your organisation.
- Check what information a photo carries, then clean it.
Helpful tips
- Review the previewed metadata first so you know what the original contained.
- Re-encoding removes most metadata but can slightly change the file; keep the original.
- Be especially careful with GPS location data on photos taken with a phone.

What metadata can be removed?
