Free privacy utility

Remove hidden metadata from your images before you share them.

Photos carry more than pixels. Behind the image, files often embed where and when it was taken, what device captured it, and what software touched it since.

The problem

A photo is not just pixels.

The image you see is not necessarily all the data contained in the file. Underneath it, a photo can carry information about:

Where

the photo was taken

When

it was taken

What device

captured it

What software

processed it

What you see

See what your images reveal

Before removing anything, you can inspect exactly what a photo contains — technical fields and a plain-language explanation, side by side. No guessing what "34 metadata fields" actually means.

What this photo reveals

GPS coordinates are present in the metadata, which may reveal the approximate location where the photo was captured. The file also includes camera and capture-date information.

How it works

Three steps, nothing hidden

Upload photo

Choose one or more images from your device — JPG, PNG, HEIC, AVIF, WebP or TIFF.

Remove metadata

We strip EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP and C2PA metadata in seconds, and show you exactly what was found.

Download clean photo

Get a clean copy — your original stays untouched, and both are deleted within 1 hour.

Trust

What we do — plainly stated

No "100% secure" claims we can't back up. Just what the tool actually does.

Who builds it

Digital Metadata Remover is developed and maintained by Space Bits S.L. — see our story.

What it removes

EXIF, GPS, IPTC and XMP metadata fields detected by our processing engine (Imagick / exiftool).

What it doesn't guarantee

Metadata removal protects against metadata exposure; it does not remove identifying information visible in the image itself (faces, signs, landmarks).

Your files

Uploaded photos are processed temporarily and deleted automatically. Details in our privacy policy.

AI content credentials

Some AI tools embed a signed C2PA "Content Credentials" manifest. Our C2PA Checker reads it without removing it, if one is present.
