Remove metadata from a photo online (free, no upload)

Free online metadata remover — clear EXIF, IPTC, and XMP from any image in your browser. No account, no server upload.

A photo's metadata is everything the file knows about itself: where it was taken, on what camera, when, with what settings, and how it was edited. Most people never see it — until someone else does.

ExifVision is a free online metadata remover that runs entirely in your browser. There is no upload, no account, and no server-side storage. Drop a photo, pick what to strip, download the clean copy.

## How to remove metadata from a photo

1. Go to the [ExifVision homepage](/). 2. Drag your image into the drop zone, or click to browse. JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, TIFF, AVIF, and most RAW formats are supported. 3. Review the metadata report (optional — this is where you see exactly what's in the file). 4. In the Scrub Metadata panel, choose one of: - Strip GPS only — keeps camera settings, removes location. - Remove EVERYTHING — clears EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and the embedded thumbnail. 5. Click Download clean copy.

## Why do it in the browser?

Uploading a sensitive photo to a random "metadata remover" website is the exact problem you're trying to avoid. Their server sees the original, unstripped file — and now so does anyone with access to that server's logs.

ExifVision performs every operation locally with WebAssembly and pure JavaScript. Your image never leaves the tab. Turn off Wi-Fi after loading the page and it still works.

## Bulk cleaning

For multiple images at once, use the [Batch route](/batch). Drop a whole folder; every photo is stripped and packaged as a zip — still entirely in your browser.

## Verify the result

After downloading, drop the clean copy back onto the homepage. The report will show no EXIF present and the privacy score will read as safe.
