Your Photos Reveal More Than You Think
Every photo you share carries hidden metadata — your exact GPS location, device info, timestamps and more. ClearExif strips it all out in seconds, right in your browser. No uploads to servers. No data stored.

Your images are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is ever uploaded to our servers.
How It Works
Three simple steps to protect your privacy. Takes seconds, not minutes.
Upload Your Image
Drag & drop or select any JPEG, PNG, TIFF or WebP image. You can upload multiple files at once.
We Detect & Strip Metadata
Our tool reads all embedded EXIF, IPTC and XMP data — including GPS coordinates, device details and timestamps — then removes it all.
Download Clean Image
Your metadata-free image is ready instantly. Download it and share safely — nothing is stored on our servers.
Every Photo You Share Is a Window Into Your Life
Most people have no idea that the photos they post to social media, send via email or share in messaging apps carry a hidden payload of personal information. Modern smartphones embed dozens of data points into every single photo.
While major platforms like Instagram strip EXIF on upload, many others — Telegram, WhatsApp (high quality), email and direct file sharing — preserve metadata in full. Don't rely on platforms to protect your privacy. Do it yourself in seconds.
Your Home Address
GPS data in a photo taken at home reveals your exact address to anyone who receives it.
Your Device Identity
Camera make, model and serial number can be used to track photos back to you across platforms.
Your Daily Routine
Timestamps across multiple photos can reveal your schedule, habits and when you're away from home.
Your Identity
Metadata combined together creates a rich profile of who you are, where you go and what you own.
Built For Privacy-First Sharing
ClearExif gives you full control over the hidden data embedded in every photo you share.
Complete Privacy
Everything runs in your browser. Your images never leave your device or touch our servers.

GPS Location Removed
Strip precise GPS coordinates that reveal where a photo was taken — protect your home, workplace and travel routes.
No Server Storage
We don't store, analyze or log any of your images. Zero server-side processing means zero risk.
All Major Formats
JPEG, PNG, TIFF and WebP are all supported. Whether it's a photo from your phone or DSLR.

Camera make & model, lens info, serial numbers and software signatures are all erased.
Batch Processing

Timestamps Stripped

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ClearExif and image metadata.
Yes — 100% free, no account required, no limits. You can clean as many images as you like. We don't sell your data or display intrusive ads.
No. All processing happens entirely within your browser using JavaScript and the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images are never transmitted to any server. We literally cannot see them.
ClearExif removes all EXIF data including GPS coordinates, camera make and model, lens information, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, timestamps (date taken, create date), device serial numbers, software signatures, and much more.
Image quality is preserved as closely as possible. For JPEGs, we re-encode at high quality (93%). For PNGs, the image is losslessly re-encoded. The visual difference is imperceptible.
ClearExif supports JPEG/JPG, PNG, TIFF and WebP. HEIC support (iPhone photos) is available when the browser can decode the format.
Slightly. Removing metadata typically makes the file a little smaller, as you're removing embedded data. The size difference is usually minimal (a few KB).
Major platforms like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter do strip EXIF on upload. However, Telegram (when sending as files), email attachments, Discord, and direct file sharing often preserve all original metadata. ClearExif ensures you're protected regardless of where you share.
Yes! You can drag and drop or select multiple images at once. ClearExif processes them all in parallel and lets you download each cleaned image individually or all at once.
