Supports JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and TIFF. Analysis starts only when you click.

Removal workflow

View metadata before you remove it

A useful remover should explain what it found, what can be cleaned, and what still needs human review.

Risk-first summary

Review high-risk GPS, device serial, author, software, capture-time, and workflow fields before deleting anything.

Original-format cleanup

When browser cleanup is reliable, download a cleaned JPG, PNG, or WebP instead of an unclear conversion.

Before-after evidence

Export JSON reports and re-analyze the cleaned file so teams can document exactly what changed.

Workflow

Use a repeatable cleanup checklist

The safest metadata removal flow is inspect, decide, clean, download, and inspect again.

1

Analyze the final file

Start with the image that will be published, sent, attached, stored, or served.

2

Decide what should travel

Separate useful production metadata from location, identity, device, and workflow fields that should stay private.

3

Remove and verify

Download the cleaned copy, upload it as a new file, and confirm the common readable fields are gone.

Privacy boundary

Removal happens locally when supported

Viewing, JSON export, and supported cleanup run in the browser. Unsupported formats are labeled instead of silently converting or pretending cleanup happened.

  • Metadata cleanup does not remove private details that are visible in the image pixels.
  • Some proprietary maker notes, damaged segments, encrypted payloads, or steganographic content may be outside common browser parsing.
  • Keep originals privately when production metadata still has archive value, and publish only the cleaned derivative.
FAQ

Metadata remover questions

Answers specific to local cleanup, supported formats, and verification.

Viewing first shows which fields exist and helps you decide whether GPS, author, device, software, or color data should be removed.

Cleanup depends on detected format support. Unsupported cleanup is labeled instead of doing a risky or misleading conversion.

No. It is practical cleanup for common readable metadata, not a forensic certification of every byte or visible detail.

Cleanup availability is determined after analysis. Reliable browser-local cleanup is designed for supported JPG, PNG, and WebP files; other formats can still be inspected and exported to JSON when readable.

When original-format cleanup is supported, the workflow avoids presenting a silent format conversion as metadata removal. Keep the original, compare the downloaded derivative visually, and re-analyze it before sharing.

Analyze the downloaded copy, inspect visible pixels for sensitive text or people, and check the final served file if a CMS or CDN processes it again. Cleanup covers supported hidden metadata, not every later publishing step.
