A focused reader, not a complete metadata forensic audit. Compressed text, vendor tags and XMP/IPTC fields may be detected without being interpreted.

Metadata is only part of image privacy.
Visible details remain in the picture. Need to cover names, addresses or faces? Use Image Blur, Pixelate & Redact and inspect the exported result.
Your images stay in this browser. Save what you need before leaving.
Make sharing a little more considered.
Choose your output
Keep decoded pixels lossless with PNG, or choose JPEG or WebP for a more compact copy. Control transparency and output names.
Check and share
Download one checked copy or a ZIP of cleaned images. Review visible details yourself and keep original metadata reports private.
For another finishing step, crop the image, reduce its size, or add your watermark.
Frequently asked questions
What image metadata can this tool show?
It detects supported metadata blocks in still PNG, JPEG and WebP files and reads common classic TIFF/EXIF fields such as camera, date, software, orientation and GPS. PNG text and JPEG comments can be shown. XMP, IPTC, MakerNote, compressed text and unknown tags are detected or summarized, not fully interpreted. Text, arrays and directories have reading limits.
How are private details removed?
The tool decodes the image and encodes a new PNG, JPEG or WebP from its pixels. It does not copy original EXIF, XMP, IPTC, comments, thumbnails, text or source container chunks. The new file is scanned before download for recognized private metadata blocks and matching dimensions. The browser may add normal color or resolution information.
Does removing metadata make an image anonymous?
No. Faces, addresses, number plates, screenshots, reflections and other details can remain visible in the pixels. Use opaque covers in the Image Blur, Pixelate & Redact tool when needed. Filenames can also identify you; anonymous output names are enabled by default. No automated inspection can guarantee anonymity.
Will cleaning reduce image quality or resolution?
The tool keeps the full browser-decoded, oriented dimensions, up to 12 million pixels and 8,192 pixels per edge. PNG stores those decoded pixels losslessly. JPEG and WebP use the selected quality and can change pixels. Re-encoding can increase file size, alter color profiles and reduce high bit-depth data. This is not byte-preserving metadata removal.
Which files and batch sizes are supported?
Choose up to 10 still PNG, JPEG or WebP images, each no larger than 20 MiB and 12 million pixels, with a combined input size of 50 MiB. Animated PNG/WebP, GIF, SVG, HEIC and RAW are not supported. A cleaned image is limited to 64 MiB and cleaned ZIP contents to 100 MiB. If a file fails, its error is shown and it is omitted from the ZIP.
Are images or location data uploaded?
This tool inspects and re-encodes files locally in your browser. It does not send images or extracted metadata to a server or save them automatically. Normal website analytics and feedback services may still load. Clear the batch or close the page to end the session.
Why does a picture with no detected GPS still need care?
This reader decodes classic EXIF GPS coordinates when valid, but location may also be stored in XMP, comments, unfamiliar vendor fields or the image itself. No detected GPS directory is not proof that a file contains no location information.
What is included in the ZIP and metadata report?
The ZIP contains only successfully cleaned images. It does not contain a metadata report. The separate JSON report contains original filenames and extracted metadata, which may include location or identity. Keep that report private; it is not a cleaned image.
How are rotation and transparent backgrounds handled?
The browser is asked to apply image orientation while decoding, so rotated photographs export in their decoded orientation. PNG and WebP can preserve transparency. JPEG replaces transparent areas with the background color you choose. Check the result in your own browser before sharing.
