About EXIF Remover
A focused tool for making photo and video copies with less embedded information.
The tool
EXIF Remover removes metadata from supported files in your browser. The tool requires no visitor account and uses no analytics. Your original files remain unchanged. Read the privacy explanation for original file storage, quality review, and retention.
What a clean copy means
Still JPG, PNG, and WebP images become new PNGs with orientation applied and source metadata blocks left out. Videos are rebuilt as MP4 or WebM with supported picture and audio streams copied without re-encoding. Playback information and data inside encoded streams can remain. Colors, file size, and supported formats have limits described on the tool page.
How the guides are maintained
EXIF Remover is the publishing name for this tool and its guides. The device and comparison guides link to Apple, Google, Samsung, standards bodies, and other primary documentation beside the claims they support. They distinguish documented capabilities from tested behavior. Phone comparisons are not benchmarks of every model.
The EXIF directory covers 129 standard-marked EXIF entries and 32 GPS entries from ExifTool’s reference. It does not claim to enumerate every proprietary camera field.
How outputs are checked
Automated checks cover photo structure and input limits, video tags, retained encoded packets, edit safety, unsupported tracks, and cancellation. Browser checks cover all six supported input formats, photo orientation, and PNG transparency.
Nine public sample photos from the Exif Samples repository were also processed through the tool. Independent decoding and PNG chunk checks verified their output dimensions and the absence of source metadata blocks. These samples are used for local testing and are not hosted here.
Browser verification so far used Chromium. Other browsers, unusually large recordings, and low-memory devices still need broader compatibility testing. Metadata removal does not hide visible people, text, landmarks, or recorded voices.
