Batch Metadata Remover

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.

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.

How to use

Step by step

  1. Drop the images onto the upload area or click to choose them.
  2. Check the Metadata found column and any skipped files.
  3. Choose the output format and, for JPG or WebP, the quality.
  4. Press Remove metadata and watch the status of each file.
  5. Download individual files or all of them as a ZIP.

Best practices

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.

FAQ

Common questions

Each image is decoded and drawn onto a canvas, then saved as a brand-new file. Canvas output contains only pixels, so EXIF (including GPS location), XMP, IPTC, comments and embedded colour profiles from the original are not carried over.
No tool can promise that for every format and edge case. This tool scans each original for EXIF, XMP, IPTC, ICC profiles, comments and text chunks, scans the new file afterwards, and reports exactly what it found — including anything still present.
No. The EXIF rotation is applied to the pixels before saving, so the image looks the same way up even though the orientation tag itself is removed.
The image is re-encoded. JPG and WebP files may get smaller or larger depending on the quality setting, and PNG files can grow. Removing metadata alone usually saves only a few kilobytes.
Usually not. Images with an embedded colour profile (such as Adobe RGB or Display P3) are converted to standard sRGB, and the profile is not kept, so wide-gamut images may look slightly less saturated.
Animated GIF, WebP and PNG files (re-encoding would keep only the first frame), SVG (not a raster image), HEIC and TIFF (which most browsers can’t decode), empty or damaged files, and images over 100 megapixels. Each skipped file shows its reason.
No. All decoding, re-encoding and scanning happens in your browser.
Private by design

This runs entirely in your browser

No file or text you enter here is uploaded. Encoding and decoding happen on your device using native browser APIs — close the tab and nothing remains on a server.
