Privacy Stripper

What is EXIF metadata?

EXIF is hidden data stored inside image files by cameras and phones. It can include GPS coordinates, camera model, lens info, shutter settings, timestamps, and sometimes even the exact place where the photo was taken.

That information is useful for photographers, but it can also reveal more than you want to share online. Removing it helps keep your photos private before you post, send, or publish them.

Why remove EXIF data?

EXIF metadata can expose your location history, the device you use, and the time a photo was taken. That makes it easier for websites, apps, or strangers to learn more about you than the image itself should reveal.

If you share screenshots, product photos, travel images, or social media posts, stripping metadata is a simple privacy step.

Useful scenarios

• Posting photos on social media without sharing GPS location.
• Sending images to clients without revealing camera/device details.
• Publishing product shots with clean, privacy-safe files.
• Sharing screenshots that should not contain hidden metadata.
• Cleaning downloaded images before archiving or reusing them.
