Remove hidden GPS data, camera settings, and personal info from your photos.

We will instantly strip all metadata while preserving quality.
Every photo captured with a modern smartphone or digital camera embeds an Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) dictionary containing your exact GPS home coordinates, capture timestamp, camera model, lens specifications, and unique device identifiers. ImageUp removes all embedded metadata locally on your machine by repainting visual pixels onto a clean canvas buffer, rendering your photos completely safe for public sharing and marketplace listings.
Upload any JPEG, PNG, or WebP photo to audit its embedded metadata.
Inspect the side-by-side comparison table showing stripped GPS coordinates, camera information, and timestamps.
Click Download Clean Image to save a pristine photo with 100% of metadata permanently purged.
Purges location coordinates (latitude/longitude/altitude), camera serials, creation timestamps, and software build numbers.
Clearly displays which sensitive tags were present in the source file and verifies their removal in the output.
Visual pixel data and color reproduction are preserved with zero compression artifacts while discarding only the binary header.
When you upload photos to classifieds, chat apps, or cloud drives, anyone who downloads the file can extract your exact home address and routine from the embedded GPS coordinates and shooting timestamps.
While some public social media feeds strip EXIF tags upon upload, direct messages (DMs), email attachments, Discord files, and cloud links (Dropbox, Google Drive) preserve raw metadata intact.
No. EXIF metadata is stored in the header of the image file separate from the visual pixel matrix. Discarding the header has zero effect on image resolution, sharpness, or colors.
No. The entire scrubbing process is performed inside your local web browser tab via HTML5 Canvas with 100% offline security.
Every time you take a picture with a modern smartphone, the camera silently attaches a wealth of hidden information to the file. This EXIF data includes the exact GPS coordinates of where you were standing, the time the photo was taken, and the specific device you used. While this is great for organizing your own photo library, it becomes a major privacy risk when you share those images online.
When you post a picture to a public forum, send it in a direct message, or upload it to a classifieds site, anyone can download the file and read your location data. Our EXIF stripper completely scrubs all of this hidden metadata from your photos. It creates a brand new, clean version of your image that contains zero tracking information, camera serial numbers, or location coordinates.
The visual quality of your photo stays exactly the same, as we are only throwing away the invisible text data attached to it. Best of all, your pictures are processed entirely on your own device. Your sensitive location data never leaves your computer, ensuring your privacy is protected from start to finish.
