All Tools
Upload a JPEG and choose exactly which metadata categories to strip. Remove GPS for privacy but keep your camera settings. Full control over what stays and what goes.
Most photo editing tools give you two options: keep all metadata or strip everything. This EXIF editor gives you a third option — selective removal. Upload a JPEG, see all metadata grouped by category (GPS, camera, settings, dates, software), and check which categories to remove. Strip GPS coordinates for privacy while keeping your camera and exposure settings intact. Everything runs in your browser. Your image never leaves your device.
The tool reads all EXIF metadata from your JPEG, groups it into five categories (GPS, Camera Info, Photo Settings, Date/Time, and Software/Creator), and lets you check which categories to remove. When you apply changes, it strips only the checked categories and re-inserts the remaining metadata into the image. The image pixels are never re-encoded — only the metadata changes. This means zero quality loss, every time.
For privacy, always remove GPS data — it reveals where the photo was taken, sometimes to within a few meters. Software and creator info can identify which device or editing app you used. Camera info and photo settings (ISO, aperture, shutter speed) are generally safe to keep and useful for photographers sharing their work or building a portfolio. Date/time is a personal call — remove it if the timing of the photo is sensitive.
Before sharing photos online, strip GPS coordinates and software/creator info at a minimum. Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter strip EXIF automatically on upload, but many other platforms — forums, blogs, personal websites, email — do not. If you sell stock photos, keep camera and settings data since buyers often filter by camera model. Always review metadata before posting to real estate listings, dating profiles, or marketplace ads where location data could be a safety concern.
