Why Strip Metadata?
Privacy
Home/office GPS can leak from vacation or work photos shared onlineSocial posts
Many platforms strip EXIF, but email and forums often keep itClient work
Deliver assets without camera serials, software, or location trailsFrequently Asked Questions
Does my photo leave my browser?
No. EXIF reading and metadata stripping happen entirely on your device with client-side JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded to Instant Tools or any AI API.
What is EXIF data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) metadata can include camera model, settings, timestamps, and GPS coordinates. Phones often embed it when you take a photo.
How does stripping metadata work?
We redraw the image onto a canvas and export a new JPEG or PNG. Canvas re-encoding drops EXIF, including GPS. Re-upload the download here to verify location tags are gone.
Which formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and HEIC (where the browser + library support decoding). Stripped downloads are JPEG or PNG depending on the original.
