Remove Metadata From Image
Check for common EXIF, GPS, camera and date information, then create a metadata-cleaned copy before sharing. Processing happens locally in your browser.
How it works
- Select a JPG, PNG or WebP image.
- Review the general metadata status without exposing exact GPS coordinates.
- Enable metadata removal and export a newly encoded copy.
Share photos with less private information
Photos can contain location, camera or capture-date information. PicTinker checks common metadata containers locally and removes EXIF, GPS, XMP and text metadata from the exported copy. Your original file remains unchanged.
When metadata removal is useful
Cleaning metadata is useful before posting camera or phone photos publicly, sending files to people you do not know, or sharing an image when the capture location, device model or date is not relevant to the recipient.
What metadata removal does not hide
Removing EXIF or GPS data does not change visible content inside the image. Faces, addresses, documents and other details that appear in the pixels must be cropped, blurred or pixelated separately before sharing.
Remove image metadata FAQ
Does PicTinker upload my photo?
No. Metadata inspection and image export happen locally in your browser.
Can it detect GPS metadata?
PicTinker checks common EXIF, PNG and WebP metadata containers for location indicators. It reports Unknown if a file cannot be parsed reliably and never displays exact coordinates.
What does the downloaded file contain?
The browser creates a new JPG, PNG or WebP without the original EXIF, GPS, XMP or text metadata. PicTinker may add the print DPI selected in the editor.
Does this change my original image?
No. The original file on your device is not modified.
