How to Remove Metadata From a Photo
Create a fresh image copy without the original EXIF camera and location metadata.
Photos can contain hidden information such as the camera model, exposure settings, date, and sometimes GPS location. That data can be useful in a private photo library, but you may not want to include it when sending an image to a stranger or posting a screenshot publicly.
Re-export a clean copy in the browser
- Choose the image in the image tool.
- Keep the original dimensions or select the size you need.
- Choose JPG, PNG, or WebP.
- Click Make this image fit.
- Download the exported copy and share that file instead of the original.
The site draws the visible pixels onto a browser canvas and creates a new image. The original metadata is not copied into that exported file.
What the tool does not remove
Metadata removal does not erase information that is visibly present in the image. A street sign, mailing label, computer notification, reflection, or recognizable location may reveal more than the file metadata.
Before sharing a screenshot or photo, inspect the picture itself. Crop or cover private information when necessary.
Why local processing matters
The image is handled in your browser rather than uploaded to this website. That keeps the tool from needing a storage server or account system and reduces the number of places your private image travels.
This creates a cleaned copy. It does not alter or erase metadata from the original file stored on your device.
Fix your image now
Use the free browser tool. There is no account, upload server, or watermark.

Does it remove GPS coordinates?
The new canvas-exported copy normally excludes EXIF data, including embedded GPS coordinates.
Can someone recover the old metadata from the new copy?
The exported file is newly encoded and does not contain the original EXIF block. Keep the original private if it contains information you do not want to share.
