Photos can carry GPS location, device, software, date, thumbnail, and editorial fields. Cleaning reduces exposure before publishing images on websites, social media, or messaging apps.
Upload a JPG, PNG, WEBP, or HEIC image, remove EXIF, GPS, XMP, and IPTC fields, review the before-and-after view, and download the clean image.
Common fields in photos
The most sensitive photo fields are GPS, capture date, device model, editing software, author, comments, and embedded thumbnails.
When to clean photos
Clean before publishing images from home, work, private events, children, travel, clients, behind-the-scenes work, and visible documents.
Frequently asked questions
Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?
It does not need to. Cleanup targets invisible fields, not pixels.
Can PNG files contain metadata?
Yes. PNG files may include text chunks, XMP, profiles, and other blocks. Not every PNG has sensitive data, but it is worth checking.
