Drop any photo to view its metadata
JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, AVIF. Your file never leaves this device.
Drop or select one JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF or AVIF file. Processing stays on your device.
Check the camera, date, GPS and other selected fields the viewer finds. A GPS warning includes a map link.
Choose "Remove all metadata." Canvas creates a new image from the decoded pixels without copying metadata blocks.
PNG inputs download as PNG. Every other accepted and decodable format downloads as JPEG at 92% quality.
The tool creates a fresh image from decoded pixels. It does not edit individual fields or copy the source file's metadata blocks into the result.
GPS coordinates
Latitude, longitude and related location fields are not copied into the newly encoded image.
Dates and times
Capture, digitized, modified and timezone fields from the source are left behind.
Camera and lens details
Make, model, lens, focal length and exposure settings are not copied.
Author and software fields
Detected artist, copyright, description, comment and software fields are left behind.
Embedded EXIF previews
The fresh export does not carry an EXIF thumbnail from the original file.
Other metadata blocks
Canvas does not copy source metadata blocks, even when the viewer does not enumerate them first.
Photos taken at home
A GPS-tagged original can reveal the exact location where it was captured.
Direct file sharing
Email and messaging behavior varies, so clean the file when you cannot rely on a platform to do it.
Marketplace listings
Removing location data helps avoid disclosing where photographed items are stored.
Web publishing
Visitors may download the original image and inspect whatever metadata remains inside it.
Applications and portals
A clean copy avoids sending unrelated camera, date or GPS details with a profile photo.
Sensitive reporting
Location and device details can expose sources, subjects or capture sites.
The viewer uses a lightweight EXIF parser to read selected TIFF, EXIF and GPS fields. It deliberately does not request IPTC, XMP, ICC, JFIF or PNG-header parsing, so the list is a useful preview rather than an exhaustive forensic report.
When you remove metadata, the browser decodes the image and draws it onto Canvas. Canvas creates a new file from the visible pixels without copying the original metadata blocks. The source file is never modified.
Output format and quality
PNG inputs are exported as PNG. All other accepted inputs are exported as JPEG at 92% quality. That can slightly change pixels, file size and color rendering, and JPEG cannot preserve transparency. Width and height stay the same.
Expecting the original format to be preserved
Only a PNG stays PNG. WebP, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF and AVIF are all exported as JPEG, just like an original JPEG input.
Assuming the pixels are untouched
The tool decodes and re-encodes the image. Non-PNG output uses lossy JPEG encoding at 92% quality, so a small visual or file-size change is possible.
Using a transparent non-PNG image
The JPEG output has no alpha channel. Transparent WebP or AVIF content can lose transparency and may not produce the background you expect.
Treating the preview as an exhaustive metadata audit
The parser reads selected EXIF, TIFF and GPS fields. It skips IPTC, XMP, ICC, JFIF and other format-specific data during inspection.
Dropping a whole batch
Only the first dropped file is processed. Download the result and choose New image before handling the next photo.
Assuming every accepted format decodes everywhere
Validation recognizes HEIC, HEIF, TIFF and AVIF, but removal still requires the current browser to decode the image.

Encode the cleaned image as a data URI, HTML tag or CSS value
The tool creates a new image through Canvas rather than copying metadata blocks from the source. EXIF and GPS data are not carried into the new JPEG or PNG. The viewer shows selected EXIF, TIFF and GPS fields, but it does not inspect every possible IPTC, XMP, ICC, JFIF or format-specific block.
It can. PNG inputs are re-exported as PNG, but JPEG and every other accepted input are re-encoded as JPEG at 92% quality. JPEG encoding is lossy, so the result may differ slightly from the source.
Only PNG inputs keep their format. JPEG, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF and AVIF inputs download as JPEG. A non-PNG image with transparency can therefore lose that transparency.
The browser decodes the image, draws its visible pixels onto an HTML Canvas, and exports a new JPEG or PNG. The source stays on your device, and its metadata is not copied.
No. EXIF reading and Canvas re-encoding happen locally in your browser. The selected photo is not sent to ImgTweak or another processing server.
The tool accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF and AVIF by MIME type or filename extension. Removal still depends on your browser being able to decode that file.
No. This interface processes one image at a time. Download the clean result, select New image, and repeat for the next photo.
Yes. The tool displays the selected camera, exposure, date, GPS, image and author fields it detects. You can also copy the parsed fields as JSON.
No sign-up and no uploads. Choose one photo above, review its detected details, and download a newly encoded JPEG or PNG.
