Image Metadata Remover

Strip image metadata by re-encoding the image in your browser.

What this tool does

Image metadata can include camera, date or location details. Re-encoding an image can remove much of this embedded metadata while creating a new image file.

  2. Set the available options for the result you need.
  3. Run the tool, review the result, and download or copy it.

Tips and limitations

Keep the original if you need its capture details. Re-encoding can also change image quality or format characteristics.

Privacy and file handling

Most tools on The Tools Kit process selected files or text in your browser without sending them to our server. The AI Image Enhancer can send a selected image to a configured processing provider when enabled. Read the Privacy Policy before using that feature with personal or confidential material.
