How to remove EXIF data in 3 steps
Safe, private, and instant metadata removal for photographers and creators.
Upload your photos
Drag and drop one or multiple JPEG, PNG, or WebP images into the tool.

Why removing EXIF data matters for your privacy
Every photo taken with a smartphone or digital camera embeds extensive private data.
Protect Your Physical Location
Smartphones embed exact latitude and longitude coordinates. Sharing photos online can unintentionally reveal your home, workplace, or travel habits.
Safeguard Your Identity & Gear
EXIF records camera serial numbers, lens IDs, owner names, and editing software, allowing bad actors to correlate your online activity.
Anonymize Marketplace Photos
Before selling items on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or eBay, strip metadata to avoid leaking where the item is stored.
Reduce File Size for Faster Web Loading
Unnecessary metadata, embedded thumbnails, and XMP packets can add up to 60 KB per image. Stripping them saves bandwidth.
Foire aux questions
Does removing EXIF metadata reduce the image quality?
No. Removing EXIF data only wipes the non-visual header information (camera model, exposure, GPS, date). The actual pixel data and image resolution remain completely unaffected.
Are my photos uploaded to any external server?
Never. Image Layered processes your files entirely within your local web browser using client-side JavaScript. Your photos never leave your device.
Can I process multiple photos at once?
Yes. You can upload dozens of photos simultaneously, strip all EXIF metadata with a single click, and download them all bundled into a convenient ZIP archive.
Which image formats are supported?
The tool supports JPEG, JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF image formats, covering all modern camera and smartphone photos.
What is the difference between EXIF data and GPS data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is an umbrella standard that includes camera hardware settings (ISO, aperture, shutter speed), timestamps, and copyright. GPS data is a specific sub-record within EXIF that stores exact geographic coordinates.
