How it works

  1. Select a supported image and review detected camera, date, software and GPS fields.
  2. Press Remove metadata.
  3. Compare original and clean file sizes.
  4. Download the new copy and keep the original untouched.

Practical example

A phone photo may contain its model, capture time and precise GPS coordinates. The clean copy removes those descriptive fields before you post it publicly.

Formula and explanation

EXIF can store useful photographic details, but location and capture time may reveal more than intended. Cifrivo parses common JPEG, PNG and WebP metadata directly from file bytes so you can make an informed choice.

JPEG without an orientation dependency is cleaned losslessly by removing EXIF, IPTC and comment segments. Images that rely on EXIF orientation, plus PNG and WebP, are rendered and encoded again so their visible orientation is retained while metadata containers are dropped.

Re-encoding can change file size and, for lossy formats, pixels slightly. The original file is never modified. Both inspection and cleaning happen in this browser and no filename, coordinates or image content is sent to Analytics.

Frequently asked questions

Does removing EXIF delete the photo date everywhere?

It removes embedded metadata from the downloaded copy. Your operating system may still assign its own file creation or download date.

Will image quality change?

JPEGs without orientation metadata are cleaned without decoding pixels. Other cases may be re-encoded to preserve correct display, with high quality settings.

Does this remove GPS coordinates?

Yes, embedded EXIF GPS is removed from the clean output. Always verify the downloaded copy before sharing sensitive material.
