Why this matters
Many phone and camera photos embed metadata you can't see in the image itself — including the exact GPS coordinates where it was taken. This tool removes all of that by redrawing the image from scratch, which never carries hidden metadata forward, only the visible pixels.
Typical fields are the camera or phone model, lens and exposure settings, the date and time, the editing software, and sometimes the location. Photos shared in forums, marketplace listings and emails can reveal where you live or work if that data stays attached.
How it works
The photo is loaded in your browser, drawn onto a blank canvas at its original width and height, and saved again at high quality (95%). A PNG stays a PNG; any other format is saved as a JPEG. Because the new file is built only from pixels, the metadata has nowhere to come from. Nothing is uploaded, so the original never leaves your device.
What it doesn't remove
Only hidden data is removed. Anything visible stays visible: faces, house numbers, street signs and reflections can still identify a place, so crop or blur them with the Blur Image tool if needed. Re-saving also means a very small quality loss on JPEGs, the embedded color profile is dropped, and an animated GIF becomes a single still image.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of information can be hidden in a photo?
Common examples: exact GPS coordinates of where it was taken, the camera or phone model, the date and time, and sometimes software details — none of it visible just by looking at the image.
Does this reduce image quality?
The image is re-encoded, which for JPEG involves a small amount of quality loss (kept high by default) — visually negligible in almost all cases.
