Remove Metadata from Photos

Strip GPS location, camera info, and timestamps from your photos. Protect your privacy before sharing.

Remove Metadata Now

No signup. Photos processed in your browser — nothing uploaded.

Every photo you take contains hidden metadata: GPS coordinates, camera model, timestamp, software version, and more. This data can reveal where you live, where you work, and what device you use. fileGOD strips all EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata from your photos in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Metadata is embedded automatically by your camera or phone — most people do not realize their photos contain their exact GPS location, often accurate to within 3 meters. When you post photos on forums, sell items on marketplaces, or share images via email, this invisible data travels with the file. Removing it takes seconds with fileGOD and adds a meaningful layer of privacy protection to your digital life.

Why Privacy Matters

Strips All Metadata

EXIF, IPTC, XMP — all removed. GPS, camera, lens, ISO, shutter speed, timestamps, software tags.

GPS Location Removal

Embedded GPS coordinates can reveal your home address. This tool removes them completely.

Batch Processing

Clean up to 20 photos at once. Download individually or as a ZIP.

No Upload Required

Your photos are processed in your browser. No server, no cloud, no third parties.

Zero Quality Loss

Only metadata is stripped. Image pixels are untouched — no recompression, no quality degradation.

HEIC Support

Works with iPhone HEIC photos in addition to JPG and PNG.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata do photos contain?+
Photos typically contain: GPS coordinates (location), camera make/model, lens info, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, date/time taken, software used to edit, and sometimes your name or copyright info.
Can someone find my home from a photo?+
Yes. If you took the photo at home with GPS enabled, the embedded coordinates pinpoint your address. Anyone with basic tools can read this data.
Does removing metadata affect image quality?+
No. Metadata removal strips only the data headers. The actual image pixels are not modified or recompressed.
Do social media platforms remove metadata?+
Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter strip EXIF data on upload. However, email, forums, Craigslist, and many other platforms do not. Always strip metadata before sharing on unfamiliar platforms.
How do I check what metadata my photo has?+
On Windows: right-click, Properties, Details tab. On Mac: open in Preview, Tools > Show Inspector. Or drop it in fileGOD and the tool displays all metadata before stripping.
