Ezgif EXIF Remover

Ezgif's EXIF remover strips the hidden data a photo carries. Digital photos store more than the picture: the camera model and settings, often the GPS location of the shot, timestamps, a small thumbnail, and text tags (IPTC and XMP). This takes all of it out in one press and leaves the picture itself unchanged. Two settings keep what the file needs to display. The colour profile keeps colours accurate, and the orientation tag keeps the photo's rotation.

It works in any web browser, free and with no account, on formats from JPG and PNG through to HEIC, AVIF and JXL. You can upload a file or paste a link.

Use Ezgif's EXIF remover if:

• You are about to post a photo publicly and want the GPS location taken out first, since phone photos usually carry it.
• You want the camera model, settings and timestamps gone before you send a file to someone.
• You have newer formats like HEIC, AVIF or JXL to clean, which many metadata tools will not open.
• You want the private data gone but the colours and rotation preserved, which the two keep settings handle.
• You want it free in the browser, with no account and nothing to install.

Skip Ezgif's EXIF remover if any of these describe you:

• You want to choose which tags to keep. This wipes everything at once, apart from the options to keep the colour profile and the orientation tag. To read what a file holds first, Ezgif's own metadata viewer is linked at the foot of the page.
• You need to keep author or copyright tags. Those live in the metadata this removes, so you would lose the credit you added.
• You have hundreds of files to clean on a schedule. This is a manual, one-at-a-time page, so bulk jobs suit a desktop or command-line tool.
• You would rather not hand private photos to anyone. Files go to Ezgif's servers to be processed, so a tool like EXIF Remover that works on your own device avoids that.
