Remove EXIF, GPS & C2PA Metadata
Keep Your Image Pixel-Perfect
Scan and strip EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC and embedded C2PA Content Credentials from JPG, PNG and WebP files — entirely in your browser, with a cryptographic hash proof that your image content was never altered.
Selective removal PRO
Uncheck a category to keep it. Applies to "Clean" actions below.caBX chunk in PNG).
Verification: after cleaning, the file is re-scanned to confirm no targeted metadata blocks remain, and a SHA-256 hash of the decoded pixel data is compared before/after so you can see the image content itself was never touched.
Important: removing embedded provenance data does not guarantee a platform will remove an AI-content label — platforms may use other signals. Selective removal (Pro) works at the metadata-block level, since individual fields inside a block are not parsed out.
How This Metadata Remover Works
Everything happens on your device. The tool reads each file's raw bytes, walks its JPEG/PNG/WebP container structure to find metadata segments, removes the ones you've chosen to strip, and rebuilds the file — without decoding or re-compressing the actual image data. Nothing is ever uploaded to a server.
1. Scan
Every dropped file is parsed locally to find EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC/Photoshop, JPEG comments, PNG text chunks and C2PA manifest containers, and flags any detected AI-generator signatures.
2. Clean
Matching metadata segments are removed at the binary level. The compressed image data itself is left untouched, so there's no quality loss from re-encoding.
3. Verify
The cleaned file is re-scanned to confirm zero targeted metadata blocks remain, and a SHA-256 hash of the decoded pixel data is compared against the original so you have proof — not just a promise — that only metadata changed.
What Makes This Different From Other EXIF Removers
Most free online metadata tools stop at basic EXIF and GPS removal, and ask you to just trust that the cleaning worked. This one goes further:
A SHA-256 hash of the decoded pixel data is compared before and after cleaning, so you get mathematical proof the image content wasn't altered — not just a claim.
The tool automatically re-scans its own output and reports exactly how many metadata blocks remain, instead of assuming success.
Detects signatures left behind by Midjourney, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, Adobe Firefly and other generators before you decide what to remove.
Removes C2PA Content Credentials manifests embedded via APP11/JUMBF (JPEG) and the caBX chunk (PNG) — not just legacy EXIF fields.
Pro users can keep specific metadata categories (like copyright) while stripping others (like GPS), instead of an all-or-nothing wipe.
Every operation — scanning, cleaning, hashing — runs in your browser. Your photos never leave your device.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool upload my photos anywhere?
No. Every scan and cleaning operation runs locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your images are never sent to a server.
Can it remove C2PA Content Credentials, not just EXIF?
Yes. It detects and removes C2PA manifest containers embedded via APP11/JUMBF segments in JPEG and the caBX chunk in PNG, alongside standard EXIF, GPS, XMP and IPTC/Photoshop metadata.
How do I know the removal actually worked?
After cleaning, the tool re-scans the output file and reports how many metadata blocks remain, and computes a SHA-256 hash of the decoded pixel data before and after so you can see the image content itself was never altered.
Which image formats are supported?
JPG/JPEG, PNG and WebP are supported for both scanning and cleaning.
Will this tell me which AI tool generated an image?
If the file still carries generator metadata, the tool checks for known signatures from tools such as Midjourney, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, Adobe Firefly and Leonardo AI, and flags a likely match before you clean the file.
