Strip metadata from a photo
A phone photo usually carries the camera model, the time it was taken and a point on the map. The panel under the result shows exactly what is in there, and the result itself carries none of it — the image is redrawn from scratch.
How to do it
- Pick a photo — a list of what it records appears under the result
- Check whether coordinates are there; they are called out separately
- Download the result — the metadata is already gone
Frequently asked questions
- How do I know the data is really gone?
- It was measured: starting from a file carrying Kyiv coordinates, after re-encoding exifr finds no GPS, no camera model and no date — in JPEG, PNG, WebP or AVIF alike.
- Does quality suffer?
- The image is re-encoded, so for JPEG pick a high quality. If you need the metadata gone without touching a single pixel, the strip_metadata MCP tool does exactly that, at the byte level.
- What about the colour profile?
- An ICC profile is not data about you — it describes how to show the colours. The byte-level strip keeps it; re-encoding normalises the colours to ordinary sRGB.
- Can I do many files at once?
- Yes. Pick several and the batch mode kicks in, giving you a ZIP.
