Strips metadata from a photo by redrawing it on a canvas and saving it again in the same format. Because the pixels are re-encoded, camera details, GPS tags and other embedded metadata do not make it into the new file.

The tool decodes your image, redraws it on a canvas and saves a new file, which leaves the metadata behind.
Nothing is selected or edited tag by tag. The method is deliberate re-encoding: the new file is built only from pixels, so location, camera model, timestamps, editing software and author or copyright fields are not written into it. That is the mechanism, and it also means a few side effects, listed below.
One image per run, saved in its original format, with JPEG and WebP re-compressed at 92% quality.
The output format is chosen from the file extension: jpg/jpeg, png, webp, avif and bmp are kept, and anything else (HEIC, for example) becomes PNG. Quality is fixed at 92% for lossy formats, so expect a slight quality drop and a different file size on JPEG photos. PNG output is lossless. Very large images are limited only by what your browser can decode and draw.
Use it before posting a photo publicly; look elsewhere if you need to inspect metadata or control compression.
Good fits: removing the GPS position from a phone photo before sending it to a marketplace listing, or stripping camera and software details from an image before publishing it on a blog. If you also want a smaller file or a chosen quality level, run the result through Image Compressor. To see dimensions and other details of a file, use Image Information. To change the format at the same time, Image Converter offers PNG, JPEG and WebP.
It cleans only the copy you download and cannot report what it removed.
Your original file is untouched, so delete or avoid sharing it if it holds sensitive data. The tool does not show removed tags, and it does not alter what is visible in the picture, such as a street sign or a face. Animated images are flattened to a single frame because only one canvas frame is drawn.
It does not edit tags inside the original file. It decodes the image, draws the pixels onto a canvas and saves a brand-new file, and the browser's canvas export carries none of the original metadata across. That covers EXIF, GPS and similar embedded fields.
Yes for JPEG and WebP. The pixels are re-compressed at a fixed 92% quality, so there is a small extra quality loss and the file size can change. PNG output is lossless, so pixels stay the same. There is no quality slider on this page.
No. This tool only produces a cleaned copy; it does not list or display the tags that were removed.
No. The decoding, redrawing and saving all happen in your browser tab, and nothing is sent to a server for this job.
