How to strip exif and gps
- STEP 1
Choose your photos
Any format the browser can decode. Batches are fine.
- STEP 2
Strip
The image is decoded to raw pixels and re-encoded, so no tag can survive the trip.
- STEP 3
Download the clean copies
Your originals are untouched — this always writes a new file.
What survives, and what does not
A photo from a phone typically carries the exact coordinates where it was taken, the device serial, and the timestamp. Most social platforms strip this on upload — but email attachments, cloud folders and file transfers do not. Re-encoding the image through the browser guarantees removal, because the encoder only ever sees pixels.
The image itself, at full resolution
Correct orientation, baked in before stripping
GPS coordinates
Camera make, model and serial number
Timestamps and editing history
The embedded colour profile and thumbnail
Honest limits are published on every tool page. If a tool cannot do something well, it says so here rather than letting you find out after the download.
Strip EXIF and GPS questions
How do I know the metadata is really gone?
Because of how it is removed. The image is decoded into raw pixels and handed to a fresh encoder, which has no metadata to write. This is not a best-effort tag deletion — the information never reaches the output.
Does this change how the photo looks?
Orientation is baked in so the image stays the right way up, and the colour profile is converted to sRGB. At quality 92 the pixels are otherwise visually identical.
Do social networks not already remove EXIF?
Most do on upload. But an emailed attachment, a shared cloud folder, or a file sent over a messaging app that preserves originals will carry everything.
Is the photo uploaded to strip it?
No — which matters more here than on any other tool. Uploading a geotagged photo to a stranger’s server to remove the geotag would defeat the entire purpose.
