Remove photo metadata
Your photos carry hidden data: GPS location, date, camera model. See exactly what's inside, then download a cleaned copy — all in your browser, with nothing uploaded.
Why clean your photos before sharing them
Most smartphones write EXIF metadata into every photo: exact GPS coordinates, date and time, camera make and model. Posted as-is, a photo can reveal your home, your workplace or your movements.
Some social networks strip this data, others don't — and a file sent by email or chat almost always keeps it. This tool shows you exactly what the image contains, then produces a copy free of all metadata by re-encoding it locally.
True to the GetFormat promise, nothing is uploaded: both reading and removing happen on your device.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF metadata?
Hidden information saved inside a photo: exact GPS location, date and time, camera or phone model and settings. It can reveal where and when the photo was taken.
Is the tool free and private?
Yes. Reading and removing happen entirely in your browser; your photos are never uploaded to a server.
Is image quality preserved?
The image is re-encoded at high quality; only the metadata is removed. The visual result is practically identical.
Why remove GPS location from a photo?
A photo taken on a phone often contains your precise GPS coordinates. Removing them before posting online avoids leaking your home address or routines.
