What metadata gets removed?

Everything the file carries: all EXIF fields including the GPS position, camera make and model, capture dates, software tags, and embedded descriptions, plus XMP and IPTC records and any ICC profile beyond standard sRGB. The report lists the notable fields each file carried before the strip.

No. No AI model reads your files - the conversion is fully deterministic. Each image is re-encoded with its metadata dropped, and the same input produces the same output every time.

Will my photos look different?

No. Pixel dimensions never change, and the orientation tag is baked into the pixels first so portrait shots still display upright. PNG is re-encoded losslessly; JPG and WebP are re-encoded at quality 95 to keep recompression loss negligible.

Does it remove watermarks or hidden pixel data?

No. This removes the metadata records attached to the file, not anything drawn in the image itself - visible watermarks, burned-in timestamps, and steganographic data are untouched.

Are my photos private?

Yes. They are processed on our own servers, never sent to a third-party AI cloud, never used for training, and auto-deleted 7 days after the job finishes. The report never includes raw GPS coordinates, only whether a position was present.

How it works

1Upload your photosDrop in JPG, PNG, or WebP images, up to 50 MB each. Batches are fine - every file is handled the same way.

2Read, then stripEach file's metadata is read first for the report, then the image is re-encoded with every EXIF, GPS, XMP, and IPTC record dropped and the orientation baked into the pixels.

3Download cleaned copiesEach photo comes back as photo-clean in its original format, alongside a metadata-report.txt showing what was found and confirming it is gone.

Who uses this tool

MARKETPLACE SELLING

Sell the couch, not your address

Listing photos taken at home carry the GPS position of your living room. Clean them before they go on Marketplace, eBay, or Vinted.

ONLINE DATING

Profile photos that stay vague

Photos shot at home or at work embed where they were taken. Strip the coordinates before a photo goes on a profile.

PARENTING & FAMILY

Share the moment, not the location

Photos of kids posted to groups and feeds can carry home and school coordinates. Remove them from a whole batch at once.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Portfolios without shoot data

Publish work without camera, lens, and editing-software tags - or the location of a private client shoot.

JOURNALISM & RESEARCH

Protect a contributor

A photo from a source can pinpoint where it was taken. Strip every record before the image is published or forwarded.

BLOGS & NEWSLETTERS

Publish without author trails

Images exported from editors carry software and author fields. Clean them before they go up on your site.

SECURITY

Built for sensitive documents

Bank statements, medical files, case records. Security isn't a feature we added - it's the foundation.

lock

Encrypted in transit

Encrypted in transit over TLS 1.2+, and stored in access-controlled, encrypted object storage. Files are protected the moment they leave your browser.

admin_panel_settings

Your files stay yours

Workspaces are isolated per account. Role-based access shows teammates only what they need.

auto_delete

Deleted, not stored

Files are deleted after processing. Everything runs on our own hardware and is never sent to an outside AI service, so your data is never used to train models.
