Photos may reveal where and when they were taken. Review detected metadata and export a clean copy. The downloaded file keeps the original image stream while removable metadata blocks are stripped and the result is checked again before it is offered.

Why use this tool

  • Review detected EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, comments or textual metadata before removal.
  • Create a separate cleaned file instead of merely displaying the embedded information.
  • The complete operation runs locally in your browser without sending image contents or color values to ImageNexo.

How it works

  1. Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image.
  2. Review the metadata groups found locally.
  3. Remove them and download the verified clean copy.

What metadata removal changes

For JPG, PNG and WebP, the tool removes supported metadata container blocks without recompressing the image pixels, then verifies that no removable fields remain.

The source stays untouched. A clean copy can lose camera, date, author, copyright, software and location information that you may want to retain elsewhere.

Private by design

Your files stay on your device. Processing starts only when you choose an image, and nothing is stored on our servers.

Frequently asked questions

Are my images uploaded?

No. Processing happens locally in your browser, so your image files never leave your device.

Which metadata is removed?

The image is re-encoded without EXIF, GPS, camera, date and embedded metadata blocks.

Does removing metadata change the visible image?

The supported metadata blocks are removed without recompressing the encoded image stream, so the visible pixels and dimensions remain unchanged.

How is the cleaned file verified?

The browser inspects the new file again and only offers it when the removable metadata fields are gone.

Is this the same as viewing metadata?

No. View Metadata only reads available information; Remove Metadata creates a new downloadable file without the supported private blocks.

Which files are supported?

The image-based tool accepts JPG, PNG and WebP.

Can I use it on a phone?

Yes, in a current mobile browser that can select images.
