Image EXIF Stripper

Remove all metadata from a photo by re-encoding through canvas.

Re-encodes any image through HTMLCanvasElement.toBlob(), which has the side-effect of dropping every metadata block: EXIF, GPS coordinates, IPTC, XMP, and color profiles. The result is a clean JPEG or PNG that's safe to share publicly.

Common use cases

  • Strip GPS coordinates from photos before posting on social media
  • Remove camera-identifying EXIF before sharing whistleblower evidence
  • Clean up product shots before uploading to a marketplace
  • Sanitize photos shared in support tickets to protect customer privacy

Frequently asked questions

Does this remove GPS too?
Yes. Every metadata block — EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, ICC color profiles — is dropped during canvas re-encoding.
Will my image quality drop?
JPEG output is re-encoded at quality 0.95, so visual loss is negligible. Pick PNG output for fully lossless re-encoding.
Will the resolution change?
No. The output keeps the source's pixel dimensions exactly.
