Remove EXIF & GPS From Photos Online
Inspect camera and location data, then create a new copy without ordinary EXIF, GPS and software metadata.
What is commonly stored in EXIF?
EXIF can include camera or phone model, capture time, exposure settings, image orientation and GPS coordinates when location tagging is enabled.
MediaClean shows readable fields first. Cleanup then re-encodes the image and reports the new file size and remaining readable signals.
Why remove EXIF from a sharing copy?
EXIF is useful to photographers because it preserves technical capture details, but some files also carry capture time, phone model and GPS coordinates.
EXIF is not inherently bad. Keep the original when you need that data, and use a cleaned derivative when privacy or a minimal sharing file matters more.
Examples of EXIF fields that may disappear from the new copy
- Make and Model describing device manufacturer and model.
- DateTimeOriginal and related timestamps.
- GPS fields when they are stored in EXIF.
- Software, Artist and ImageDescription in ordinary metadata.
EXIF is not all metadata
- Removing EXIF is not the same as fully verifying C2PA or Content Credentials.
- XMP and PNG text chunks are separate layers that may need inspection.
- Invisible pixel-level marks are not EXIF fields.
How do you know cleanup worked?
After the new copy is created, the tool scans again and shows the new size, format and remaining readable signals.
Questions about this tool
Is EXIF the same as metadata?
EXIF is one kind of metadata. XMP, IPTC, C2PA and other structures can also travel with a file.
