Clean copy
what a photo carries
A photo straight from a phone usually carries an EXIF block: the exact time it was taken, the camera or phone model, the lens, the exposure settings, and very often the GPS coordinates of where you were standing. None of it shows in the picture, all of it travels with the file, and most places you upload a photo to can read it.
This tool re-draws the image and re-encodes it, which is why the metadata disappears — pixels are all that survive the round trip. EXIF, GPS, XMP and IPTC blocks are not copied across, because there is nothing in a canvas to copy them from.
three steps
It is read in the browser. Nothing is uploaded, which matters more here than on most tools — the whole point is that the coordinates in this file should not travel.
The panel lists what the file actually carried: camera, lens, exposure, capture time and GPS when present. Being told a photo is clean is worth little if you never saw what was in it.
Keep JPG for photos, or switch to PNG or WebP. The image is visually identical; the difference is a file that no longer says where and when it was taken.
quick answers
It is re-encoded, so a JPG passes through the encoder once more. At the default quality the difference is invisible on screen; pick PNG if you want the pixels preserved exactly and do not mind a larger file.
Yes. The download is built from the pixels alone, so there is no EXIF block in it at all — not stripped fields, no block. You can check by running the result through our EXIF viewer.
No. The orientation tag is applied by the browser while drawing, so the pixels are already the right way up before the tag is discarded. What you see in the preview is what you get.
They go too, for the same reason: the canvas holds pixels, not metadata. That includes copyright and caption fields, so keep your original if you rely on them.
No. The file is read, drawn and re-encoded in your browser. A photo whose location you want to remove is exactly the kind of file that should not be sent to a server first.
Most large platforms do strip EXIF on upload, but not all of them, not on every path, and not when a file is sent by email, chat or cloud link. Removing it yourself is the only part you control.
One at a time here. For a batch of photos to share, compressing them in our batch tool also re-encodes and drops the metadata.
