How to use Image Metadata Cleaner
Remove EXIF, GPS, camera details, and source metadata by exporting a clean copy.
- 01Choose the image to clean.
- 02Select output format and quality.
- 03Re-encode and download a copy without source metadata.
How metadata is removed
Only decoded pixels are painted into a new Canvas and encoded as a new file. Source EXIF, GPS, comments, and camera fields are never copied.
A note about color
Re-encoding may also drop an ICC color profile and export in the browser canvas color space. Keep the original when color-managed print work matters.
Frequently asked questions
Is the original file modified?
No. The browser creates a separate clean copy.
How can I verify private fields are gone?
The new file is built from pixels without source metadata. You can still inspect the download with a dedicated metadata viewer.
