There is no GPS-only option or keep-tag list. This tool removes the source metadata groups together, including capture details and author information. Keep the original if you need those records; use a metadata editor with selective controls when individual tags must be retained.
Image Metadata Remover
Remove EXIF, GPS location and saved AI generation details from a JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or single-page TIFF. Download a new copy in the same format. Images are re-encoded, so keep the original for your archive.
Remove the information stored inside a photo
A photo can carry information you cannot see in the picture. Before sharing a product shot, a photo from home or a screenshot, you may want to remove the source's embedded tags. Which tags exist depends on the camera and apps that created or edited the file.
GPS location
Removes embedded GPS coordinates from the output copy when they are present. The picture itself is still visible, including landmarks, signs and other location clues.
Capture time and camera details
Removes source EXIF information such as the capture date, camera model, lens and shooting settings. The tool does not replace these fields with a different date or device.
Author, descriptions and comments
Removes source XMP, IPTC and embedded comments, which can contain author names, captions or editing information. This page performs a complete cleanup of these source tags; it has no individual tag selectors.
To see what your file contains before changing it, use EXIF Viewer. Viewing reads the information; this metadata remover creates a separate image copy with the source tags removed.
How to remove metadata from an image
1
Choose a supported still image
Select or drop one still JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP or AVIF, or a single-page TIF/TIFF, up to 50 MB and 40 million pixels. Upload starts immediately after selection. Keep the original if you need its capture details, color profile or editing history later.
2
Run the metadata cleanup
Wait for the upload to finish, then click Remove Metadata. The server applies stored orientation, converts the image to sRGB and creates a new file. There are no format, quality or tag-selection settings on this page.
3
Download and check the new copy
Save the completed image from the results list. Open that downloaded copy to check its appearance and inspect its metadata before sharing. The selected-image preview shows your input, so it is not evidence of what was removed.
Remove saved prompts and workflows from AI images
AI-generated images can carry creation details as well as ordinary photo metadata. What is saved depends on the generator and export settings; some files contain no prompt at all. AUTOMATIC1111 documents PNG generation information, while ComfyUI documents embedded workflows.
PNG prompts and generation settings
PNG text entries may contain a prompt, negative prompt, seed, model reference or sampling settings. Common field names include parameters, prompt and workflow. A ComfyUI prompt field can contain structured JSON rather than just the words used to describe the picture.
EXIF and XMP in other supported formats
Some exporters save generation information in EXIF comments or XMP. These source fields are also cleared from supported JPG, WebP, AVIF and single-page TIFF images, together with camera and location metadata. The extension alone does not tell you which fields are present.
Use the same Remove Metadata button; no separate AI mode is needed. Keep the original image or a separate workflow JSON if you need to reproduce the result later. Once the embedded workflow is removed, that copy can no longer supply it for reopening the workflow.
This cleans embedded information, without guaranteeing that an image cannot be identified as AI-generated. Google explains that SynthID is embedded in image pixels and can remain detectable after metadata is lost. This page does not validate Content Credentials (C2PA), remove platform labels or guarantee invisible-watermark removal.
How each supported format is saved
The output keeps the source image format, but the image is encoded again. Color is converted to sRGB and the original embedded ICC profile is removed. Keep the original when its exact color rendering or original encoded data matters.
JPG and JPEG
Both names refer to JPEG. The output is recompressed at a fixed quality setting of 95; there is no quality slider. Removing EXIF data here is not a lossless JPEG edit, and subtle image details can change.
PNG
PNG is encoded losslessly after orientation and color processing. Existing transparency is retained, while source metadata and embedded profiles are removed. Lossless output encoding does not undo changes made during color conversion.
WebP
A still WebP is saved as WebP using lossless encoding of the processed pixels. Existing transparency is retained. If the original used lossy compression, the new lossless file can be larger without recovering detail already lost.
AVIF
A still AVIF stays AVIF, using lossless encoding of the processed 8-bit sRGB pixels. Existing transparency is retained. The original HDR information and higher bit depth are not preserved; compare the appearance and keep the source when those properties matter.
TIF and TIFF
A single-page TIF or TIFF is saved as an 8-bit sRGB TIFF with LZW lossless compression. Existing transparency is retained. The original CMYK representation, higher bit depth and layers are not preserved. Multi-page TIFF files are rejected rather than reduced to the first page.
Stored orientation is applied to the picture. A photo that needs a 90-degree turn can have its width and height swapped; a TIFF output may contain a new normal-orientation tag. There is no resize or crop setting in this tool.
Check the downloaded file before sharing
Use the new download for your check, rather than reopening the original from your camera folder. You can inspect it with EXIF Viewer and compare the information that matters to you.
Look for the source tags
Check whether the original GPS coordinates, capture date, camera details and author information are still reported. For AI exports, also inspect generation text, prompts and workflow fields where available. A visual comparison alone cannot show whether hidden fields were removed.
Expect basic file properties
Format, image dimensions and file size still describe the new image. Your device may also assign new filesystem dates. These properties are different from the original photo's embedded capture date and camera tags.
If you edit or export the image again, inspect the final version you will actually share. Keep your original separately for your own records, and choose the cleaned copy when attaching or publishing the image.
Check file size and image dimensions separately
A small file can still contain a very large image. Both the file-size limit and the decoded pixel limit apply before a supported image can be cleaned.
One still image at a time
Supported inputs are still JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP and AVIF, plus single-page TIF/TIFF. There is no batch-folder upload. GIF, HEIC/HEIF, SVG and PDF are not accepted; animated WebP, APNG, AVIF sequences and multi-page TIFF are also rejected.
Up to 50 MB per file
This limit applies to the selected source file. An unsupported or damaged image can still fail even when its file size is under 50 MB.
Up to 40 million pixels
The source width multiplied by its height must be no more than 40,000,000. For example, 8,000 × 5,000 is exactly 40 million pixels; 8,000 × 6,000 is 48 million and exceeds the limit.
If the image is too large, prepare a smaller copy first, then clean and check the copy you intend to share. Renaming a file extension does not convert an unsupported format.
Questions about removing photo metadata
No. A date printed on the picture, a face or a watermark is part of the visible image. Removing embedded tags does not hide those pixels or remove location clues from the scene. Review the picture as well as its metadata before sharing.
Removing metadata can save space, but re-encoding also changes the file. A lossless WebP output, for example, can be larger than its lossy source. This page does not promise a smaller download. If file size is your next concern, use Compress Image and inspect the final saved version again.
No. Selecting the file starts an upload, and cleanup runs on the server. Uploaded files and generated results are temporary and subject to scheduled cleanup. Keep your original and download the cleaned image promptly; this is not a browser-only processing tool.
The tool creates a separate output file. It does not overwrite the original on your device or alter images in existing messages, posts or backups. Share the newly downloaded copy for future use; previously shared files retain whatever information those copies already contain.
