Image Metadata Remover
Check what hidden data is stored in your photos — camera details, timestamps, location info — and strip it before sharing online. Everything runs in your browser.
Runs entirely in your browser. TinyToolbox never sees or stores your image. Re-encoding resaves the image; it may slightly increase file size if the original was already heavily compressed.
What is image metadata?
Images often contain hidden data beyond what you see:
- EXIF data — camera make, model, settings (aperture, ISO, shutter speed), date and time taken
- GPS coordinates — where the photo was taken, if your camera or phone recorded location
- Thumbnails — some JPEGs embed a preview thumbnail that may contain earlier edits
- Software & copyright info — which app created or last edited the file
Stripping metadata is a simple privacy step before posting photos on social media, forums, or marketplaces.
How this tool works
Your image is loaded, any embedded metadata is read and shown, then the image is redrawn onto a fresh canvas and exported as a clean file. The same process that removes metadata also removes embedded thumbnail previews and colour profiles (ICC). The image itself is not altered.
When to strip metadata
- Before posting photos on social media or dating apps
- Before sending images to people you do not know well
- Before uploading product photos to marketplaces
- Before sharing screenshots that could reveal software versions or device info

After cleaning metadata, you may want to add a watermark, resize the image, or compress it for faster uploads.
