Remove image metadata
See what a JPEG reveals, then remove its hidden metadata without uploading or recompressing it.
Metadata segments
How to inspect and remove metadata
Drop a JPG or JPEG into the tool. It reads the marker structure locally and lists removable segments.
Review each category and uncheck anything you intentionally want to retain. EXIF can contain GPS data.
Set a filename and remove the selected segments, or download a JSON report without changing the photo.
Lossless JPEG cleaning
JPEG files contain separate marker segments for pixels and metadata. Selective cleaning copies the encoded image data unchanged, so there is no quality loss. JFIF display information, ICC color profiles, and Adobe rendering data are always preserved to avoid changing dimensions, color, or appearance.
Inspection and reports
The results identify EXIF/GPS, XMP, IPTC/Photoshop, comments, and other application segments and show their encoded sizes. The JSON report records the filename, file size, inspection time, and detected segment categories without including the image or raw private metadata values.
