How it worksShow guide

Introduction

Metadata Cleaner scans photos for EXIF, GPS, camera, IPTC, and XMP tags, then removes them by re-encoding in your browser. Files never leave your device.

Step-by-step

  1. Choose one or more images (JPG, PNG, or WebP).
  2. Review the metadata that was actually found in the file.
  3. Click Clear metadata — cleaning runs locally.
  4. Compare before/after field counts and download the cleaned files.

Worked example

A phone photo is scanned for GPS and camera tags, then redrawn on a canvas and saved as a new JPG — location and camera tags are gone.

Use cases

  • See exactly which hidden tags a photo contains
  • Share photos without revealing location
  • Scrub camera and device details before publishing
  • Prepare privacy-safe images for blogs and portfolios

Frequently asked questions

What metadata is shown?

Only tags that can be extracted from the selected file are listed. Empty groups are hidden, and no placeholder fields are invented.

What metadata is removed?

Re-encoding through the canvas drops EXIF, IPTC, XMP, GPS, and similar embedded tags. After cleaning, the tool re-scans the new file so the before/after counts reflect what was actually removed.

Are files uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser on this device.

Will my image look different?

JPG and WebP use lossy quality settings, so there can be a tiny visual change. PNG stays lossless. Dimensions stay the same.
