What can travel with a photo?
A photo can carry more than the scene you see. A camera or phone may write a GPS location, capture date, device model, editing software and an embedded thumbnail. Other apps add descriptions, keywords, XMP fields or AI generation settings.
Choose your photos above, open each metadata report and save the cleaned copies. You can add more files to the same batch and download everything that succeeded as a ZIP. A refused file never receives a download.
Cleanup follows the file format
| Format | Removed | Preserved |
|---|---|---|
| JPG / JPEG | EXIF and GPS, XMP, extended XMP, IPTC, comments, APP11 C2PA and other unneeded application data. | Compressed scan data, JFIF display settings, Adobe color transforms and ICC profiles by default. |
| PNG | Text chunks, compressed and international text, EXIF, modification time and supported C2PA chunks. | IDAT image data, transparency, animation and supported display information. |
| WebP | EXIF, XMP, C2PA and other unsupported metadata chunks. | Compressed image data, alpha, animation and ICC profiles by default. |
Unchanged pixels can look different
The tool does not rotate or re-encode your photos. Removing EXIF orientation can change how a viewer rotates or mirrors a file. Check the cleaned copy before sharing. If it looks wrong, use a trusted local editor to normalize the orientation before cleaning again.
ICC color profiles stay by default to preserve color interpretation. You can remove them with the switch, but colors may look different. Animated PNG and WebP frame data is retained. HEIC, AVIF, RAW and multi-picture or gain-map JPEG files are not supported in this version.
Metadata cleanup does not erase faces, addresses, license plates, screenshots of private information or visible watermarks. Review the image itself as well as its report.
