PNG metadata remover
Remove PNG metadata without uploading the image
Clean PNG files locally by removing text metadata and PNG eXIf chunks while keeping color profiles and visible pixels intact.
What the PNG cleaner removes
PNG files can hide comments, software names, prompts, workflow notes, timestamps, and sometimes EXIF-style data inside metadata chunks.
RemoveMyEXIF removes the privacy-focused PNG chunks: tEXt, zTXt, iTXt, and eXIf. It preserves visual data such as ICC color profile chunks so the image keeps its look.

PNG chunk cleanup
Useful PNG metadata removal, not a re-export
The tool targets chunks that commonly carry private or identifying text while avoiding visual fidelity data.
Text chunks
Removes tEXt, zTXt, and iTXt chunks that can store comments, software tags, prompts, author notes, and export history.
PNG eXIf chunks
Removes PNG eXIf chunks when a file contains EXIF-style camera or location metadata.
Color stays intact
Preserves non-privacy chunks such as image data and color profile chunks so the PNG keeps its appearance.
Browser-only
The original PNG stays on your device. No upload, account, queue, or server-side processing is used.
FAQ
PNG metadata questions
Practical details about what PNG metadata is, what gets removed, and what stays untouched.
Yes. Some PNG files include an eXIf chunk, and many include text chunks with software, author, workflow, or export information.
No. The cleaner removes metadata chunks and does not recompress or redraw the image pixels.
No. ICC and color profile data are preserved because they affect how the image appears, not just privacy metadata.
No. Parsing and cleaning run locally in your browser, and the original file stays on your device.
Also cleaning WebP exports?
WebP files can carry EXIF and XMP chunks too. Use the WebP cleaner when your image came from a web optimizer or export pipeline.
