Remove Image Metadata

How to use this tool

A short browser-side flow that keeps the file on the current device.

1. Add the image to the workbench and let the browser prepare the preview.
2. Choose the output format and quality if you want to combine privacy cleanup with a file change.
3. Export the rebuilt image and download the metadata-stripped copy.

Best use cases

Common jobs where this page saves a repetitive manual step.

• Preparing photos for public posting without carrying source metadata into the shared copy.
• Cleaning internal files before handing them to another team or external partner.
• Combining metadata cleanup with a format or quality change in a single browser-side step.

Output and format notes

Details that help you avoid format or quality mistakes before export.

• The output is a fresh encoded file, so metadata fields are removed as part of the export rather than edited in place.
• If you want to verify visual framing or orientation first, do that cleanup before the privacy export.
• Privacy cleanup is separate from file-size optimization, although the re-encode can still change file weight depending on the selected output format.

Choose the right nearby tool

Image tasks often sit next to each other: conversion solves format compatibility, compression solves file weight, resize changes dimensions, and metadata cleanup handles privacy. Use the nearby tools when the next constraint changes.

• Use a paired conversion page when the target format is different from this workflow.
• Use Compress Image when the format is acceptable but the file is still too large.
• Use Resize, Crop, Rotate, or Remove Metadata when the image content needs cleanup before export.
