FAQ

What information is removed?

For JPG, EXIF (GPS location, date taken, camera model and more), XMP, IPTC and comments are removed. For PNG, EXIF plus text and timestamp chunks. For WebP, EXIF and XMP.

Does removing metadata reduce image quality?

No. Nothing is recompressed — only the metadata sections are cut out, so not a single pixel changes. The file gets smaller by the size of what was removed.

Will my photos turn sideways afterward?

No. The orientation value is kept so photos stay upright, and the color profile (ICC) is kept so colors don’t shift.

Why did my portrait-mode JPG get much smaller?

Some phones attach extra images to the end of a JPG, and those can carry EXIF too, so they’re removed as well. The photo you see is unchanged.

Can I remove EXIF from iPhone HEIC photos?

This tool doesn’t accept HEIC. Use the HEIC to JPG tool with Remove location and camera info (EXIF) turned on to get a JPG without that info.

It says it couldn’t open the image.

The file may have an image extension but different contents, or it may be cut off partway. Try downloading the original again.
