How to use Remove Image Metadata
- Select or drag an image into the tool.
- Adjust the available settings for the result you need.
- Choose Remove metadata and review the preview or file details.
- Download the new file to your device.
What this tool does
Re-encode a photo to remove EXIF and other embedded metadata. Re-encoding removes embedded EXIF and most application metadata. It also creates a new file rather than editing the original.
Privacy and file handling
Your file stays inside the current browser tab during processing. BrowserPixel does not receive, store or inspect the image. Closing or refreshing the page clears the selected working data from the page.
Quality tips
- Keep an untouched copy of the original file.
- Use PNG for transparency and sharp interface graphics.
- Use JPG for photographs when transparency is not required.
- Use WebP for a practical balance between file size and visual quality on modern websites.
