JPEG, PNG, or WebP — all metadata stripped in your browser.

How it works

  1. 1Choose or drag in a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image.
  2. 2For JPEG and PNG, every recognized metadata segment/chunk — EXIF, XMP, IPTC/Photoshop, ICC profile, and the C2PA/JUMBF block — is removed at the byte level, leaving pixel data untouched.
  3. 3The cleaned file is re-checked from scratch and compared against the original in a before/after report, so the results reflect what's actually in the output file.

Privacy

All parsing and stripping happens locally in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your original file is never uploaded.

Supported formats

JPEGPNGWebP

Limitations

Removing the ICC color profile can shift how wide-gamut images render in some viewers. WebP images are cleaned via a canvas re-encode (all metadata removed, but with a small recompression quality change) since there's no lightweight byte-level WebP metadata stripper.

Frequently asked questions

Does this also remove C2PA Content Credentials?
For JPEG and PNG, yes — the C2PA manifest segment/chunk is removed along with the rest of the metadata, and the before/after report verifies this by re-checking the cleaned file.
Is this the same as the EXIF Remover?
No — the EXIF Remover only strips EXIF. This tool removes EXIF, IPTC, XMP, ICC, and C2PA data all at once.
Will removing all metadata guarantee a platform can't tell an image is AI-generated?
No. Removing embedded metadata only removes what's inside the file. Many platforms run independent AI-detection analysis on the image content itself, which this cannot affect.
