Why use this free image metadata remover?

View and manage supported image metadata before you share a photo.

Free and easy to use

Inspect one supported image up to 20 MB, review its metadata, and download a separate copy for free. No signup required.

Review image metadata before editing

Check camera settings, dates, location, creator details, copyright, software labels, and PNG text metadata when present.

Edit supported photo details

Edit supported text values found in your image, such as an EXIF description, creator, copyright, date, PNG text, or XMP property. Available fields depend on the file. Technical, binary, IPTC, and unsupported fields remain read-only. The edited copy keeps the original image format, including HEIC and HEIF.

Remove supported metadata in a separate copy

Remove supported JPG EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and location blocks or PNG EXIF, text, timestamp, and Content Credentials chunks. WebP cleanup removes EXIF and XMP. HEIC/HEIF cleanup clears supported EXIF and XMP values while retaining other metadata and image properties. Color profiles and unrecognized data are kept. Pixel-based watermarks are not affected.

FAQs

Can I edit image metadata online?

Arrow
Yes. Choose a supported JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC/HEIF image to see its found metadata. Editable text values appear directly in the list. Change an available field, save your edits, and download a separate copy in the original format. Technical, binary, IPTC, and unsupported values are read-only.

What photo metadata can I review?

Arrow
The tool can show supported EXIF, IPTC, XMP, GPS, camera, creator, copyright, date, and software details when present. PNG text chunks can contain descriptions or AI generation parameters. The fields shown depend on the image and the supported metadata layout.

Can I remove EXIF data from JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC images?

Arrow
Yes, for supported layouts. JPG cleanup removes supported photo metadata blocks. PNG cleanup removes eXIf, tEXt, zTXt, iTXt, tIME, and caBX chunks. WebP cleanup removes EXIF and XMP chunks. HEIC/HEIF cleanup clears supported EXIF and XMP values; other metadata and image properties stay unchanged. Every action creates a separate copy.

Does removing metadata affect image quality?

Arrow
The encoded image data is not drawn or re-encoded when you edit or clean metadata. Color profiles are preserved. Removing JPG EXIF can remove an orientation tag, so a viewer may display a rotated image differently. HEIC/HEIF image orientation and other image properties are kept.

Can the tool identify AI-generated images?

Arrow
It can show supported AI-related labels found in the image metadata. A label is a declaration, not proof of how an image was made. No marker does not prove the image is human-made. Pixel-based watermarks such as SynthID are not detected or removed.

Will removing metadata remove C2PA Content Credentials?

Arrow
JPG or PNG cleanup can remove supported Content Credentials data, including the PNG caBX chunk, making that provenance unavailable in the copy. HEIC/HEIF cleanup only clears supported EXIF and XMP values and does not remove every provenance record. Editing metadata may invalidate existing credentials. Removing a record does not change any disclosure obligations.

Which image formats are supported, and are my photos uploaded?

Arrow
Choose one JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, or HEIF image up to 20 MB. Review, editing, and cleanup happen in your browser. HEIC/HEIF output remains HEIC/HEIF. Some protected, older, or unsupported metadata layouts are read-only or rejected. Your source image is not uploaded by this tool.
