EXIF Remover

What the app finds and shows

How to remove EXIF data from photos in 3 steps

1. Add the photos — the list shows what each file carries: EXIF, XMP, IPTC, GPS, comments or text chunks.
2. Select a photo to inspect the details: camera, capture date, dimensions and a GPS warning.
3. Press “Remove metadata” — clean copies appear next to the originals; nothing is re-compressed, nothing is uploaded.

What a photo says behind your back

A photo from a phone carries more than a picture: the exact camera model, the original capture date, and — if location services were on — the GPS coordinates of where you stood, accurate to a few metres. Post a picture of an item for sale taken at home, and the listing can contain your address. Share “grandma's birthday” and the timestamps are there too. Windows can remove this per file, buried in Properties → Details, and online “EXIF removers” usually mean uploading your photos to someone's server — the opposite of privacy. EXIF Remover does the whole job locally, in bulk, and shows you first exactly what is being removed.

Lossless: the pixels are never re-encoded

Most simple tools “remove metadata” by loading the image and saving it again — a full re-compression that softens fine detail and can even make the file bigger. EXIF Remover works at the file structure level instead: it walks the JPEG's segment table or the PNG's chunk list, drops the containers that hold metadata, and copies the actual image data byte-for-byte. The result is the same quality you started with — objectively identical pixels — in a smaller file. ICC colour profiles and JFIF headers are kept on purpose: removing those would change how the photo looks.

JPEG and PNG, with badges telling the truth

Every added photo gets badges for what it contains: EXIF, XMP, IPTC, comments, text chunks, GPS. A file with nothing to clean is marked “no metadata” instead of being rewritten pointlessly. Select a photo to see camera, capture date and dimensions, plus a red warning if GPS coordinates are inside. By default the app writes “file_clean.jpg” next to each original — your originals are never touched — and a switch enables in-place replacement. Everything happens on your machine: no uploading, no accounts, no telemetry.
