Why Remove EXIF Metadata?

Every photo you take with a smartphone or digital camera contains hidden metadata called EXIF data. This can include your exact GPS coordinates, the camera model and serial number, the date and time the photo was taken, and even the software used to edit it. When you share photos online — on social media, messaging apps, or email — this metadata often travels with the image.

Removing EXIF metadata before sharing photos protects your privacy. Without it, strangers cannot determine where you live, work, or vacation from your photos. Journalists, activists, and privacy-conscious individuals rely on EXIF removal to protect themselves and their sources.

EXIF Scrub processes everything locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device — there is no server upload, no cloud processing, and no data collection. You can even disconnect from the internet after loading this page and it will still work. We preserve only orientation and color profile data so your photos display correctly after cleaning.
