What EXIF gives away
GPS coordinates precise enough to identify a home or a workplace. The make and model of your camera or phone, sometimes with a serial number in the maker note. The exact date and time the shutter fired. The software used to edit it, and occasionally your name in the artist or copyright field.
None of it is visible in the picture, and most people never realise it is travelling with the file.
The rotation problem
Most EXIF removers have a bug worth knowing about. Phones usually record the camera's physical orientation in an EXIF tag rather than rotating the pixels, and viewers apply that rotation when displaying the image. Strip all EXIF and the tag goes with it, so a portrait photo suddenly displays sideways.
This tool checks for that case. If your photo carries a rotation, it keeps exactly one field — the orientation — and tells you it did. Everything else goes. You can switch that off if you would rather have nothing at all.
No quality loss
Many online EXIF removers decode and re-encode the image, which loses quality every time. This one does not decode anything: the compressed image data is copied byte-for-byte and only the metadata is rewritten. Run it a hundred times and the pixels are identical.
Frequently asked questions
Does this remove GPS location?
Yes. GPS is part of the EXIF block, and the re-scan afterwards confirms it is gone.
Will my photo be rotated incorrectly afterwards?
No, not by default. If the photo carries a rotation tag, a minimal orientation record is preserved so it displays correctly, and the report tells you that one field was kept.
Does it work on PNG and WebP too?
Yes. PNG stores EXIF in an eXIf chunk and WebP in an EXIF chunk; both are handled, along with their other metadata containers.
Is the photo uploaded to a server?
No. It is read and rewritten in your browser. Nothing is transmitted, which you can confirm in your browser's network panel.
