EXIF Remover - Strip Metadata from Photos

Remove EXIF, XMP, and IPTC metadata from photos before you share them. Lossless for JPG, PNG, and WEBP.

Instant preview Privacy-first No signup

Drop one or many photos to remove their EXIF, XMP, and IPTC metadata.

JPG, PNG, and WEBP keep their original pixel bytes. HEIC, AVIF, and GIF are re-encoded.

Remove EXIF online with ImgShifter

The EXIF Remover walks each image's byte structure and drops only the metadata segments: APP1 (EXIF/XMP), APP13 (IPTC/Photoshop), and comment markers in JPEG; tEXt, zTXt, iTXt, and eXIf chunks in PNG; EXIF and XMP chunks in the WebP RIFF container. The pixel data is byte-for-byte identical to the original - no re-encoding, no quality loss.

HEIC, AVIF, and GIF inputs are re-encoded to JPEG at quality 0.95 because their containers can't be safely edited in-browser. JFIF headers and ICC color profiles are preserved so the cleaned image still renders with accurate colors. All EXIF (including GPS), XMP, IPTC, and Photoshop blocks are removed - everything you'd care about for a privacy-conscious share.

Strip one image or many at once; ImgShifter offers individual downloads and a bundled ZIP. Re-open the result in the EXIF Viewer to verify that nothing personal remains. The entire flow runs in your browser - watch the Network tab while you strip to confirm no upload, or disconnect from the internet after the page loads and try it again.
