This page opens the EXIF tool with removal mode already selected: drop a photo, press the button and download a copy with the metadata gone. Along the way you still get the full report, so you can see exactly what was hiding in the file before it was stripped.

Why bother? A photo straight from a phone typically carries the device model, the precise second it was taken and, if location services were on, GPS coordinates accurate to a few meters. Large social networks strip this on upload, but e-mail, messengers sending files "as documents", classified-ad sites and your own website usually do not — the recipient gets everything. Removing metadata before sharing closes that leak.

The removal here is a byte-level operation: for JPEG the tool rebuilds the file without its APP1/APP2 segments (EXIF, XMP, ICC), for PNG it drops the text and eXIf chunks. The compressed image data itself is copied verbatim — the picture is not re-encoded, so quality stays mathematically identical and the file even gets slightly smaller. Everything runs locally in your browser; the photo is never uploaded anywhere.
