EXIF Remover
Strip camera metadata from a photo by re-encoding it.
How to use EXIF Remover
Free EXIF remover: redraw a photo on a canvas to drop location and camera metadata before you share it.
Open EXIF Remover on toolpermarket — the form is ready, so type your numbers and read the result.
In the Image file field, choose the photo whose metadata you want gone. Location, camera model, and date are the usual tags a phone embeds.
In the Output format field, pick PNG (lossless) or JPG. Pick JPG only if you also want a smaller file; PNG keeps every pixel.
Press Download clean image to compute the result. The output appears immediately below the form. Edit a value and press the button once more to see the updated answer.
Read the result and use it as needed. If the number looks off, re-check your inputs and run it again — the math is deterministic, so the same entries always return the same answer.
Worked example. Open a phone photo that carries GPS data, choose PNG, and Download a clean copy that no longer reveals where it was taken.
Tips for accurate results.
Re-drawing to a canvas drops EXIF, GPS, and editing history by design.
PNG keeps quality; JPG shrinks the file but loses a little detail.
The original file on your device is never altered — only the download is new.
When to use EXIF Remover. Sharing photos without leaking GPS coordinates. Stripping camera and software tags before publishing. Reducing what a stranger can learn from a picture.
When you actually reach for this
- You want to strip camera, date, and GPS metadata before posting a photo.
- You are sharing an image and do not want to leak where or when it was taken.
Where this tool stops being accurate
- It removes metadata only; the pixels are unchanged, so the image looks identical.
- Some files have no EXIF (screenshots, many edited exports), so there is nothing to strip.
Frequently asked questions
Does this really remove the location?
Yes. Because the cleaned image is rebuilt pixel by pixel on a canvas, the metadata block — including GPS — is not carried into the download.
Is the original photo changed?
No. Your source file stays exactly as it was; the tool only produces a new, metadata-free copy to download.
Is my image uploaded?
Never. The redraw happens, so the photo is processed locally and nothing is sent to a server.
Does it delete the GPS location?
Yes, that is the main point. EXIF removal drops camera, timestamp, and GPS tags while leaving the photo itself untouched.
