01 · What is hiding in a photo
Every picture carries a note you never wrote
The moment you press the shutter, your phone or camera tucks a small record inside the file. It travels with the photo through email, chat, and cloud folders, and anyone who receives the file can read it.
Where it was taken
Many phones save the exact spot a photo was taken, down to the street. Shared as it is, a picture of your living room can point at your front door.
What took the picture
The brand and model of the phone or camera, the lens, and the settings used. It links every photo you post back to the same device.
When it happened
The date and time, down to the second. Enough to sketch out your routine if you post regularly from the same places.
Who handled it
Author names, copyright lines, captions, and the apps used to edit the photo often stay attached long after the editing is done.
02 · When it matters
Share the picture, keep the story to yourself
Before you post
Social apps strip some details, but messaging apps, email, and cloud links often pass the original file along untouched.
Selling online
Listing photos of furniture, a bike, or a car are seen by strangers. Clean them so a buyer sees the item, not where it lives.
Sending to clients
Deliver finished work without the notes, editing history, or personal details that piled up along the way.
Slimmer files
Metadata-only mode removes hidden data without changing pixels. Deep cleaning re-encodes the image, so the file can become larger.

Choose how your photo is cleaned
On by default. Decodes and redraws still JPEG, PNG and WebP locally: about 0.75% smaller (rounded to whole pixels), rotation up to 0.1° with a small center crop, and faint RGB noise of ±1 level. Re-encoding changes pixels, dimensions, file size and potentially quality. JPEG stays JPEG; PNG and WebP become PNG. Transparency and upright orientation are preserved. Maximum 12 megapixels and 8192 pixels per side. Disable for metadata-only removal without pixel changes. No guarantee of watermark removal or any AI-detection outcome.
Free, and it stays free
No account, no trial, no daily counter running out halfway through a batch. Clean three photos today and three hundred next week. The only limits are 50 photos and 250 MB per batch, so your browser stays quick.

04 · Frequently asked questions
A few quick answers
Is there a daily limit?
No. Clean as many photos as you like, completely free. Add up to 50 photos at a time, then start another batch whenever you need.
Will my photos look the same?
On by default. Decodes and redraws still JPEG, PNG and WebP locally: about 0.75% smaller (rounded to whole pixels), rotation up to 0.1° with a small center crop, and faint RGB noise of ±1 level. Re-encoding changes pixels, dimensions, file size and potentially quality. JPEG stays JPEG; PNG and WebP become PNG. Transparency and upright orientation are preserved. Maximum 12 megapixels and 8192 pixels per side. Disable for metadata-only removal without pixel changes. No guarantee of watermark removal or any AI-detection outcome.
Can I clean several photos at once?
Yes. Select or drop a batch, click Remove metadata, then download your photos individually or together in a ZIP file. Each photo can be up to 50 MB, with up to 250 MB per batch.
What exactly is photo metadata?
It is a hidden note your camera or phone attaches to every picture. It can say where the photo was taken, which device took it, the exact date and time, the settings that were used, and sometimes the name of the person or app that edited it. You never see it, but anyone who receives the file can.
Why would I want to remove it?
Because a picture you share casually can quietly reveal your home address, your daily routine, or the gear you own. Removing metadata lets you share the picture and keep the story behind it to yourself.
Do I need an account or an app?
No. There is nothing to install, no signup, no watermark, and no email required. Open the page, add your photos, and download the clean versions.
Which photos can I clean?
Metadata-only mode supports JPEG, PNG/APNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF, HEIC/HEIF and TIFF, preserving pixels, animation and format in supported variants. Default Deep cleaning supports still JPEG, PNG and WebP only; JPEG stays JPEG, PNG/WebP export as PNG. Disable it for other formats and animations.
Ready to clean your photos?
Remove private metadata locally. Deep cleaning is on by default and subtly redraws the image; turn it off to preserve the original pixels, dimensions and format.
