EXIF Viewer
Inspect supported EXIF, GPS and other metadata in a local JPEG, PNG or WebP image without uploading it.
Open toolImage Metadata Remover
Remove original EXIF, GPS and other image metadata by re-encoding a local JPEG, PNG or WebP. Choose an output format, review the visible image, and download the new file.

How Image Metadata Remover works
Decode the source pixels, apply browser orientation and encode a new image from a canvas.
Original EXIF, GPS and other embedded records are not copied. The browser encoder can add basic technical headers. Visible names, faces, watermarks and identifying pixels remain. JPEG/WebP may change pixels, and animated input uses its first frame.
How to use Image Metadata Remover
Select a supported source image and output format, then review the re-encoded pixels before downloading the new file.
Select a source image and output format
Choose PNG, JPEG or WebP output. The file must meet the 10 MB and 16-million-pixel limits. JPEG receives a white background.
Input and settings
Re-encode the image without original metadata
Select Remove metadata to encode a new image from the decoded source pixels. Original EXIF, GPS and other embedded records are not copied; the browser encoder may add basic technical headers.
Tool result
Review the image and download the new file
Re-encode the image, review its dimensions and visible content, then download the new file. Inspect its metadata separately if needed.

Remove original EXIF and GPS records before sharing images
Prepare a new raster file and inspect both its visible pixels and metadata.
Remove original EXIF or GPS records
Create a new raster from the decoded pixels rather than copying the source file's embedded records. Review the resulting file with a metadata viewer.
Choose a transparent output
Use PNG or WebP when the source has transparency. JPEG does not preserve an alpha channel and uses the page's white background.
Prepare a first-frame raster
Use the first displayed frame from supported animated raster input. This page does not preserve animation; GIF Resizer is a separate tool.
Re-encoded pixels and original embedded metadata
A new raster file omits original embedded records, while its visible pixels still need their own review.
The result is a newly encoded image. Original embedded metadata is not copied, but the browser encoder can add technical headers and the visible pixels can still identify a person or place.
Image size, transparency, and first-frame limits
Check the upload limits and choose an output format that fits the transparency and animation you need.
Source images must be JPEG, PNG or WebP, at most 10 MB, with no more than 16 million pixels or 8,192 pixels on either side. Re-encoding does not redact visible names, faces or watermarks.
PNG and WebP can retain source transparency, while JPEG uses a white background. Animated input produces its first frame only, and JPEG/WebP encoding can change pixels. Review the downloaded image and use a metadata viewer if you need to inspect its new technical headers.

Open toolImage Metadata Remover: common questions
Answers about using Image Metadata Remover and understanding its results.
Does it remove a visible watermark?
No. It removes original embedded records by re-encoding pixels; visible content remains.
Is transparency retained?
PNG and WebP support transparency. JPEG uses a white background.
