How to use it
- Choose a JPG or PNG. The tool lists the metadata it finds.
- Press Remove metadata.
- Download the cleaned file and compare sizes.
Example
A phone photo with GPS coordinates in its EXIF block is saved again with that block deleted and identical pixels.
Benefits
- Lossless for JPG and PNG, because only metadata segments are removed.
- Reports GPS presence so you know why it matters.
Limitations
- If a JPG relies on an orientation flag, the tool re-encodes it so the picture keeps the right way up, which recompresses it.
- Metadata inside the picture itself, such as a visible timestamp, is not removed.
- Color profiles are kept for accurate colors.
Frequently asked questions
Do social networks remove EXIF?
Many do, but not all, and email or direct downloads usually keep it. Clean files yourself to be sure.
