Remove EXIF data from a photo

Take the hidden information out of a photograph before you share it.

Every photo a phone takes carries a block of invisible data alongside the picture: the exact place it was taken, the moment, the device, sometimes the serial number. It travels with the file when you email it or post it, and most people never know it is there.

This tool removes those blocks and leaves the picture itself completely untouched — the pixels are copied through byte for byte, so nothing is re-compressed and no quality is lost.

It handles JPEG files, which is the format phones produce. And the stripping happens here, in this tab: uploading a photograph to a website in order to have its location removed would rather defeat the exercise.
