FAQ

What private data is stored in EXIF?
EXIF is embedded photo metadata: GPS location, camera model, lens and exposure settings, capture time and serial numbers. Sharing originals can expose your location and habits — strip it before sharing.
How do I remove GPS location from a photo?
Upload and click "Clear EXIF". The tool redraws the image at high quality to remove all metadata, including GPS, camera settings and device info, outputting a clean file.
Does clearing EXIF affect photo quality?
Barely. The tool re-encodes at 95% quality, visually indistinguishable in most cases. For social sharing, chat and platform uploads, the difference is negligible.
Is it safe to clear EXIF online?
Safe. Everything runs locally in your browser; the photo never reaches a server and no trace is left, suitable for location-sensitive images.
Can I still use the photo after clearing?
Yes. The cleaned photo views, edits, uploads and shares normally — only the metadata is gone. Phone galleries, social platforms and email all work fine.
When must I clear EXIF?
Before posting to forums/social platforms, sending to strangers, uploading to job sites or sharing publicly — especially photos taken at home, office or campus that could reveal location.
Are there limits on free EXIF removal?
None. Free, no registration, unlimited, supporting JPEG photos.
What is the difference from deleting the photo?
Clearing EXIF keeps the image itself and only removes metadata; deleting removes everything. This tool does the former — keep the photo, lose the data.
