Photo metadata explained
What is EXIF data?
Photo metadata is hidden information saved inside image files such as HEIC, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, WebP, and AVIF. It can describe where a photo was taken, when it was captured, which camera or phone created it, and the software used to edit it.
Before cleanupEXIFStripped
No. EXIF is metadata, not the pixels themselves. RemoveMyEXIF creates a clean copy by removing the metadata block while preserving the photo's resolution, colour, and visible image quality.
Social media, marketplaces, client portals, and public websites can expose more than the visible photo. Removing EXIF metadata helps strip GPS location, camera details, timestamps, and other private context before the file leaves your device.
No. EXIF is metadata, not the pixels themselves. RemoveMyEXIF creates a clean copy by removing the metadata block while preserving the photo's resolution, colour, and visible image quality.
The safest metadata remover is one that processes photos locally in your browser. With RemoveMyEXIF, you can inspect photo metadata, remove GPS coordinates, strip camera information, clean iPhone HEIC photos, clear PNG text chunks, and remove WebP EXIF/XMP data without uploading the original image to a server.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
No. Every supported tool runs locally in your browser. Image, PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and MP3 files are processed on your device; RemoveMyEXIF does not receive their contents.

No. EXIF data is stored in a separate section of the file, independent from the pixel data. Removing it does not change resolution, color, or visual quality in any way.
