Remove hidden EXIF and metadata from photos with our free strip image metadata tool on XConverters. Upload an image, choose JPEG, PNG, or WebP output, and download a clean copy — processed by stripImageMetadata entirely in your browser. No account, no upload, completely free.
What This Tool Does
Digital photos often embed EXIF data: GPS coordinates, camera model, capture date, and sometimes serial numbers. Sharing images online can unintentionally expose location history or device fingerprints. Stripping metadata before publication is a simple privacy step for social posts, marketplace listings, and client deliverables.
Our tool uses stripImageMetadata to decode your image, drop embedded tags, and re-encode in your chosen format. Processing runs locally on XConverters — files never upload to a cloud server, which matters when cleaning scans of IDs, receipts, or confidential screenshots.
Output options include JPEG, PNG, and WebP so you can match downstream requirements. The visual pixels stay the same; only invisible metadata blocks are removed. Free, instant, and no registration required.

Privacy and Security
Everything runs locally in your browser on XConverters. Your input is never uploaded to our servers, stored in a database, or shared with third parties. We designed this tool for developers, designers, and everyday users who need quick results without sacrificing privacy.
Only anonymous site analytics may be collected to improve performance and usability. The actual text, files, or data you process never leave your device during normal use.
Private by design: Because processing happens entirely in your browser, you can safely work with personal photos, client documents, API payloads, and proprietary content without exposing it to cloud storage.
Tips for Best Results
- Keep an original with metadata if you need it for photo management apps locally.
- PNG and WebP may carry fewer EXIF fields than JPEG from phones — still worth cleaning.
- Stripping metadata does not blur faces or remove visible watermarks — only hidden tags.
- Choose JPEG for smallest share size; PNG when you need lossless pixels without metadata.
- Run this step last before upload if your editor re-embeds EXIF on save.
