About Image Metadata Remover
The Image Metadata Remover strips embedded metadata, including GPS location, by re-drawing the image through a canvas. It is for anyone wanting to share a photo without the data it carries.
Photos often embed location and device data you may not want to share. Removing it locally produces a clean image without uploading the original.

Tips for best results
- Remove metadata yourself rather than trusting every platform to strip it.
- Keep an original copy if you need the metadata for your own records.
- Expect a re-encode, so use a high quality setting if the source was high quality.
Pitfalls to watch for
- Assuming a platform always strips metadata; many do not, so do it yourself.
- Forgetting that re-drawing re-encodes the image, which can slightly change quality.
- Keeping only the cleaned copy when you wanted the metadata preserved elsewhere.
