EXIF Remover
Strip GPS, camera, and timestamp EXIF metadata fully in-browser. Map preview and ZIP download.
About this tool
EXIF Remover is a 100%-browser tool that parses, previews, and strips EXIF and GPS metadata from JPEG / HEIC / PNG / WebP images. Inspect the timestamp, camera, lens, aperture, shutter, and second-precision GPS coordinates, then download a stripped copy in one of three modes: strip-all / strip-GPS-only / keep-all (preview). Built on piexifjs + libheif WASM, it correctly handles iPhone HEIC files, and zero bytes are sent to a server β verifiable in the browser DevTools Network tab. Use it as a privacy step before posting to secondhand markets, blogs, or social media to keep home and workplace locations from leaking.
Use cases
Scenario 1
Hide location in resale-app photos
For a sofa photo on Karrot or Bunjang, strip only GPS to mask home location while keeping the timestamp for buyer confidence.
Scenario 2
Audit before posting to a blog
Before posting a restaurant photo to your blog, audit the EXIF first, then upload a fully stripped copy.
Scenario 3
iPhone HEIC β JPEG with metadata strip
Convert iPhone HEIC to JPEG for PC/Mac compatibility while wiping metadata in the same pass.
Scenario 4
Original-quality attachments on DM
Original-quality attachments on X DM or Discord retain EXIF β strip GPS, time, and device tags before sending.
Scenario 5
Sharing internal photos externally
When sharing internal facility or document photos with an external partner, wipe camera serial, GPS, and timestamp in one click to prevent leakage.

Frequently asked
- Q. What EXIF data leaks?
- A. Date / time, camera, lens, aperture, shutter, ISO, plus GPS latitude / longitude / altitude at second precision β enough to pinpoint home or office.

- A. Yes. Strip-GPS-only removes GPSLatitude / Longitude / Altitude while keeping DateTimeOriginal and camera tags.

- A. Instagram, KakaoTalk, and Facebook strip on upload, but X DM originals, Discord attachments, blogs, Google Drive, and Tistory keep the metadata β strip first to be safe.
- Q. Can stripped metadata be recovered?
- A. No. Keep a backup of the original if you may need it later.
