Click Download. The file is saved in your Downloads folder (File Explorer › Downloads).
What's stripped out
- GPS coordinates, date and time, phone or camera make and model, lens and exposure settings, editing software and any embedded preview thumbnail.
- JPG, PNG and WebP files are cleaned without touching the picture itself, so they look identical. HEIC photos come back as a clean, high-quality JPG.
Windows PC tips
- In File Explorer, Properties › Details › Remove Properties and Personal Information handles part of this, but it doesn't always clear everything and only works one folder at a time.
- Most social networks remove metadata when you post, but email, AirDrop, cloud links and many messaging apps pass along the original file with everything intact.
Questions & answers
Does stripping EXIF data hurt the quality?
No. Only the hidden details go; the WebP picture data is left alone.
Can I clean a batch of photos?
Yes. Add as many as you like and save them all in a single ZIP.
Do my photos get sent anywhere?
No. Your browser does the conversion with your device's own processor, so your photos stay with you. Once the page has loaded you could even switch off your internet connection.
