Remove EXIF Metadata from Images Online
View and delete hidden data like GPS location, camera info, timestamps, and other photo metadata before sharing your images.
View and clean image metadata
Upload an image, inspect GPS location, camera model, timestamps, and software tags, then create a clean copy without the hidden metadata.
or drop a JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC image here
Check hidden metadata first
Use the page as an EXIF viewer online to inspect GPS, camera, timestamp, software, and orientation fields before you remove them.
Remove metadata in one step
Create a clean copy that strips hidden image data before sharing a file with clients, marketplaces, or social platforms.
Built for privacy-first sharing
Supported image formats are handled in the browser so you can clean location and camera data without switching to a desktop app.
What is EXIF metadata in images?
EXIF metadata is extra information saved inside many image files. Depending on the photo and device, it may include camera make and model, lens details, date and time, orientation, editing software, and sometimes GPS coordinates. Many people never notice it because the data is hidden inside the file rather than shown in the visible image itself.
That is why a photo metadata viewer can be useful before you share anything publicly. If you need to read metadata from a photo, check EXIF data from an image, or inspect image metadata online before sending files to a client, this tool lets you see what is stored in the file first and then decide whether to keep or remove it.
Why remove metadata from photos before sharing?
Removing metadata helps protect privacy. A photo can reveal where it was taken, what phone or camera captured it, when it was created, and which software touched it later. If you are posting online, sending screenshots to customers, uploading marketplace listings, or sharing family photos, that hidden information can expose more than you intended.
People often use an EXIF remover online because they want to remove metadata from a photo before sharing it, remove location data from photos before sharing, remove personal data from images, or make photos private before upload. Cleaning metadata can also help remove tracking data from images and reduce accidental disclosure of GPS location from mobile photos.
How to remove EXIF data from photos
The workflow is simple. Upload your image, review the detected metadata, remove the EXIF data from the image, and download the cleaned file. That means you can remove EXIF data from JPG online, remove metadata from PNG, remove metadata from WebP, or strip metadata from an image online from one place.
- 1.Upload your image file.
- 2.Review camera info, GPS data, timestamps, and technical tags when available.
- 3.Click Remove Metadata to create a clean image copy.
- 4.Download the cleaned file and share that version instead of the original.
View image metadata online before cleaning it
This page works as both an EXIF viewer online and a metadata remover. Before deleting anything, you can inspect image metadata online to see what is actually stored in the file. That makes it useful for people who only want to view image metadata online, read metadata from a photo, or check camera info from an image without editing it yet.
If GPS data exists, it is called out clearly. If there are no camera details or no metadata at all, the viewer shows that cleanly too. The goal is to satisfy the viewer intent first and then make the cleanup step obvious.
Remove GPS location, camera info, and hidden image data
Many users are specifically trying to remove GPS data from an image, delete location from a photo, remove camera info from an image, or remove hidden data from photos before posting them publicly. This tool is designed around those exact jobs. It shows whether the file contains location data, device tags, timestamps, software fields, and other hidden details that can matter for privacy.
Once you create the cleaned copy, those hidden fields are stripped from the downloaded image generated by the tool. That makes it easier to share screenshots, listings, client assets, press images, and personal photos with more confidence.
Supported formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and mobile photos
The main local workflow supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP images. You can remove metadata from JPG, remove metadata from JPEG, remove metadata from PNG, and remove metadata from WebP directly in the browser. That covers the most common file types used for websites, screenshots, exports, and shared photos.
Tolyo.app also accepts HEIC and HEIF files to help with iPhone-originated photos and other mobile uploads. When browser support allows, those files are converted locally to a clean JPG for download. That makes the tool useful for remove metadata from iPhone photos, remove location from iPhone pictures, remove EXIF data Android, or delete metadata from Samsung photos workflows as well.
Does this tool upload my images?
Supported JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and HEIF files are handled locally in your browser in this implementation. Metadata inspection happens client-side, and the cleaned image is generated from a local browser pass rather than an upload workflow.
That means Tolyo.app can accurately say the file is not uploaded for this tool. If a future format ever needs a server-side fallback, the UI should explain that clearly before processing, but the current path is fully browser-based.
Supported formats
The current implementation is browser-first. JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP stay fully local. HEIC and HEIF uploads are accepted for many mobile workflows and converted locally to a clean JPG output when browser support is available.
JPG / JPEG
Fully local
Metadata reading and cleanup happen in the browser.
PNG
Fully local
Useful for screenshots, exported graphics, and app images.
WebP
Fully local
Checks and cleans supported WebP metadata locally.
HEIC / HEIF
Local conversion
Accepted for many iPhone and mobile photo workflows, then converted locally to a clean JPG output.
Common use cases
- Remove location from iPhone photos before sharing them in chat, email, or social posts.
- Clean camera metadata from client deliverables before sending approved images out.
- Check photo metadata before uploading product pictures to marketplaces or listings.
- Remove hidden data from screenshots, exported graphics, and web assets before publishing.

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove EXIF data from an image online?
Upload your image, review the metadata viewer, click Remove Metadata, and download the cleaned file. Tolyo.app handles the supported workflow directly in your browser.
Can I remove location data from a photo before sharing it?
Yes. If GPS metadata is present, the tool shows it and removes it from the cleaned image so you can share the file more privately.
Does this work for iPhone photos?
Yes for common supported photo uploads. HEIC and HEIF files can be handled locally when browser conversion is available, which helps with many iPhone photo privacy workflows.
Can I view image metadata before removing it?
Yes. This page works as both an EXIF viewer and a metadata remover, so you can inspect the fields first and clean the file second.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
Tolyo.app tries to preserve visible quality by using high-quality local re-encoding and keeping the same displayed dimensions whenever possible.
Does PNG or WebP contain metadata too?
Yes. Some PNG and WebP files can contain metadata as well, so the tool checks them and creates a cleaned copy for supported cases.
