Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove EXIF data from a photo?
Upload the photo and click Remove. Download the clean copy with all metadata stripped.
What is EXIF data?
Information stored inside an image: camera model, lens, settings, date and time, and often GPS coordinates.
Can people find my location from a photo?
Yes, if GPS data is embedded. Removing EXIF deletes the coordinates.
Do social networks remove EXIF data?
Facebook, Instagram and X strip most metadata on upload, but email, cloud links, forums and messaging apps that send “original quality” often don’t.
Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?
No. Only the hidden metadata is removed; pixels are unchanged.
Will the photo still be rotated correctly?
Yes — orientation is applied to the pixels before the metadata is removed.
How do I check what metadata a photo has?
Use View Image Metadata to see every EXIF field first.
How do I turn off location in my iPhone photos?
Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Camera → Never.
Can I remove metadata from HEIC, PNG and WebP files?
JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF and more.
Does the Remove EXIF Data tool store my photo?
