What is EXIF?
EXIF is a structured block of image information. It can include camera make and model, lens details, exposure settings, capture dates, software, orientation and GPS coordinates. The exact fields depend on the device and editing history. Not every photo contains EXIF.
Remove EXIF in three steps
- Select JPG, PNG or WebP images above. The tool recognizes file contents rather than trusting their extensions.
- Open “View metadata report” to compare detected fields before and after cleaning.
- Download the cleaned copy, or save the batch as a ZIP. Your original is not overwritten.
We remove the entire EXIF container in supported image formats, rather than deleting only a few named fields. That includes EXIF thumbnails and fields that are not individually decoded in the report. XMP, IPTC and other supported metadata carriers are cleaned too, since location information can also appear outside EXIF.
Understand the report
The “Before cleaning” list includes supported detected fields such as camera make, model, dates, software and the presence of GPS. GPS is reported as present; coordinates are not decoded into a map. A generic EXIF entry means the block was found even if its individual fields could not be read.
The report is a bounded inspection of supported containers. It is not a full forensic inventory. The “After cleaning” list may include retained ICC color profiles, color transforms or PNG display data. Those help a viewer interpret the unchanged image.
Orientation is part of EXIF. We remove it, so your cleaned copy may appear rotated or mirrored. The tool does not rotate pixels. Check the downloaded file in your usual viewer.
