What is Remove image metadata

Every photo you take stores invisible EXIF metadata: the exact GPS location where it was shot, the camera or phone model, the date and time. If you upload that image to a website, a forum, or send it by email, you are sharing those details without realizing it —including your address if the photo was taken at home. This tool strips the metadata (EXIF, XMP, GPS and comments in JPG; text and EXIF blocks in PNG) without re-compressing or touching the pixels: the image stays identical but clean. Unlike other sites, fetchio.io does it inside your browser, so the photo never leaves your device. Drop it, press one button, and download a trace-free version, ready to share with privacy.

FAQ

EXIF metadata is hidden data your camera or phone stores inside the photo: the exact GPS location, the device model, the date and time, even the capture settings. Removing it protects your privacy —especially your location— before you upload or send the image.

No. The metadata is removed directly in your browser; the image never leaves your device, so your data stays private.

No. Only the metadata blocks are removed; the pixels are not re-compressed or modified, so the image stays identical, just without the hidden data.

Yes. The GPS location lives inside the EXIF block, which is removed entirely, so the photo no longer reveals where it was taken.

JPG and PNG. In JPG it removes EXIF, XMP and comments; in PNG it strips the text and EXIF blocks. Other formats can’t be processed.
