Remove EXIF Metadata

Create a fresh JPG, PNG or WebP copy from the visible pixels so the original embedded EXIF and other source metadata are not carried into the downloaded image.

How to use Remove EXIF Metadata

  1. 1Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image from your device.
  2. 2For JPG or WebP, adjust output quality if you want to trade file size against compression quality.
  3. 3Create the clean copy, review the preview and download the newly encoded image.

Useful tips

  • •EXIF can include camera information, timestamps and GPS coordinates, so removing metadata is useful before sharing sensitive photos.
  • •The tool re-encodes the visible pixels instead of copying the original file, so file size or compression can change.
  • •If a photo relied on EXIF orientation, the cleaned file may have that orientation baked into the pixels and therefore use swapped width/height compared with the raw stored image.

Frequently asked questions

What metadata does this remove?

The cleaned copy is created from decoded pixels rather than the original encoded file, so the original EXIF blocks and other source metadata are not copied into the new image.

Does removing metadata change image quality?

PNG remains lossless, while JPG and WebP are re-encoded at the selected quality. Re-encoding can also change file size and colour-management information.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Decoding, re-encoding and downloading happen locally in your browser. Wid9et does not upload the source or cleaned image.
