Open Remove EXIF and GPS metadata
What it does
Prepare a shareable copy when the original contains camera details, dates or location. Pixels are decoded and encoded into a new PNG; the file is not merely renamed.
When to use it
Use this workflow when the example below matches your task and the documented limits fit your input. Keep the original and review the output before sharing it.
Steps
- Load a static JPG, PNG or WebP.
- Create the copy; the engine checks that EXIF and text chunks are absent from the PNG.
- Download the PNG and review visible information before sharing it.
Worked example
JPEG with EXIF/GPS and orientation.
An oriented PNG with the same visual dimensions and no original EXIF/text chunks.
Common mistakes and limitations
- 5 MiB, 8 MP and 4096 px per side; output up to 20 MiB. File size may increase.
- Does not guarantee anonymity: faces, plates, visible text, download names and system traces are not forensically erased.
