EXIF Metadata & GPS Stripper
Remove hidden GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, and personal metadata from your photos before sharing them online.
Select or Drop Photo to Inspect & Strip EXIF
Scans for hidden GPS coordinates, camera model, date/time, and software tags. Re-rasterized cleanly in-browser.
How It Works (Step-by-Step Guide)
Learn how to use our free online exif metadata & gps stripper in four simple, instantaneous steps. All computations run right in your browser with zero latency and zero data transfer.
Upload Any Photo or Screenshot
Drop your JPEG, PNG, or WebP photo into the analyzer. The tool inspects EXIF markers in the file’s binary header.
Inspect Detected Sensitive Tags
Review any discovered metadata such as exact GPS latitude/longitude, camera model, lens parameters, date taken, and software.
Pure Canvas Re-Rasterization
Click Strip Metadata. The tool redraws the pure raw pixel matrix onto a sanitized canvas, completely discarding all metadata markers.
Download Sanitized Photo
Download your clean, privacy-hardened photo with peace of mind before posting to forums, social media, or classified ads.

Comprehensive Overview & Technology
Whenever you take a photo with a smartphone or digital camera, the device automatically records extensive Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) metadata into the file. This hidden data frequently includes your precise GPS latitude and longitude coordinates, the exact date and timestamp, your device model, unique camera serial numbers, and even software versions used.
Posting photos containing EXIF data to public forums, social media networks, or classified ad platforms can expose your home location, daily routine, and personal identity to malicious actors, stalkers, and tracking bots.
Our EXIF Metadata & GPS Stripper guarantees your safety by sanitizing your photos before you share them. By re-rasterizing the image purely as raw pixel color data onto an isolated HTML5 canvas, all auxiliary metadata markers (APP1, EXIF, XMP, IPTC) are permanently expunged. Your photo looks identical to the human eye, but contains zero trackable data.
Under the Hood: Engine Architecture
The tool scans the binary headers for JPEG APP1 markers (0xFFE1) and EXIF signatures. It extracts and displays human-readable diagnostic information for transparency.
Sanitization is performed by painting the image to an offscreen canvas and exporting it as a freshly synthesized image/jpeg or image/png blob. This process discards the old container and creates a clean, compliant image stream containing solely image pixels.
