How to remove metadata from a photo
- Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP photo.
- Click Remove metadata.
- Download the clean copy and share that one instead of the original.
How the metadata is removed
The tool takes the metadata blocks out of the file and leaves the picture data exactly as it was, so there is no re-compression and no loss of quality. After cleaning, it reads the new file again to confirm that no metadata is left. For JPEG photos one setting is deliberately kept: the rotation, because phones store pictures sideways and rely on it to display them upright. The colour profile is kept too, so colours look the same.
