Batch Image Metadata Remover
Add a batch of photos to re-encode them without their metadata. The tool shows which metadata blocks it found in each file and checks the new file afterwards. Everything runs on your device — originals are never changed.

Images are re-encoded, so file sizes may change. Metadata removal is checked by scanning each new file, but no tool can guarantee every field is removed from every format.

About Batch Image Metadata Remover
Batch Image Metadata Remover re-encodes many images at once so that EXIF data (including GPS location), XMP, IPTC, comments and embedded colour profiles from the originals are not carried into the new files. It scans each original to show which metadata blocks it contains, scans each output afterwards, and reports the result per file. Photos keep their correct orientation because the EXIF rotation is applied to the pixels.
Photos from phones and cameras often contain hidden details such as location, device and date. Removing them before sharing images publicly protects privacy. Doing it in the browser means your photos are never uploaded to a third-party service.
Step by step
- Drop the images onto the upload area or click to choose them.
- Check the Metadata found column and any skipped files.
- Choose the output format and, for JPG or WebP, the quality.
- Press Remove metadata and watch the status of each file.
- Download individual files or all of them as a ZIP.

Tips for best results
- Keep your originals — the cleaned copies are new, re-encoded files.
- Use quality 90–95% for JPG to avoid visible quality loss.
- Check the status column for any file that was skipped or still lists metadata.
- Remember that visible content (faces, signs, screens) can also reveal information.
- Convert HEIC photos to JPG first with the HEIC converter, then clean them here.
