HEIC/HEIF need to be converted to JPG first — use the HEIC to JPG tool, then come back.
Why strip EXIF before sharing?
Phones embed GPS coordinates and timestamps into every photo by default. If you post a raw file on a forum, in a bug report, to cloud storage, or as an email attachment, the recipient can extract your home address from the first selfie you share. Social platforms strip this on upload, but image hosts and chat apps frequently do not.
How it works
Our server rewrites the file's container so every EXIF, IPTC, and XMP block is gone. JPG and WebP keep their pixel data byte-for-byte; PNG stays lossless. Opt into stripping the ICC color profile as well if you want the tiniest file — leave it on if color accuracy matters on wide-gamut displays.
Verify the result
You can verify the strip with a quick check in the EXIF Viewer before and after.

Your image is sent to the MakeMyImgs API for this job, then the result is returned to your browser.
Strip EXIF in 5 steps
Upload your image
Drag and drop an image onto the page or click to browse. The tool header shows whether processing is local or server-backed.
Review detected metadata
The tool tells you whether EXIF was found and summarizes the key fields (camera, GPS, timestamps).
Pick output format
Keep the original format or re-encode to JPG, PNG, or WebP. Optionally strip the ICC color profile as well.
Strip metadata
The server rewrites the file container so every EXIF, IPTC, and XMP block is dropped, then streams the clean image back.

Frequently asked
Does this remove GPS coordinates?
Yes. All metadata is discarded when the image is re-encoded from the raw pixel data — including GPS, camera serial numbers, timestamps, and software tags.
Will stripping reduce image quality?
If you keep PNG or re-encode at 100% quality there is no visible loss. At lower JPG/WebP quality you see normal lossy-encoding tradeoffs.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
Client-side tools process in your browser. Server-backed tools send the image to the MakeMyImgs API temporarily, process the requested job, and return the result.
