Why Remove EXIF Data from Photos?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data contains hidden metadata that most cameras and smartphones automatically embed in every photo. This can include:
- GPS coordinates revealing exactly where the photo was taken
- Camera model and technical settings (aperture, shutter speed, etc.)
- Date and time the photo was captured
- Software information if the image was edited
- Thumbnail previews that might show cropped content
When sharing photos online, this metadata can compromise your privacy and security. Our free tool helps you maintain control over your personal information.

Does this affect image quality?
No, we only remove metadata while preserving the actual image data. Visual quality remains identical to the original.
