Strip metadata from any image. Without uploading it.

Four steps, all of them local. Nothing is uploaded at any point, so you can do this on a photo you wouldn't send to a stranger's server.

1. 01Drop your image into the box above, or click it and pick a file. Up to 100 at once.
2. 02Read the report. It lists every field found — GPS, camera and lens, timestamps, editing history, AI tags, C2PA manifests, and any embedded thumbnail — grouped by how sensitive each one is.
3. 03Choose what to remove. “Strip everything” clears all of it; “Remove location only” erases the GPS coordinates and keeps your copyright, camera settings, and captions intact.
4. 04Download the clean copy. A single file, or the whole batch as one zip.

Each container stores metadata differently, so “stripping” means something slightly different in each. JPEG, PNG, and WebP are edited byte-for-byte — the compressed image data is copied straight through and your pixels come out identical.

• JPG / JPEG — the usual offender. Carries EXIF (GPS, camera, timestamps) in an APP1 segment, often IPTC and XMP too, plus an embedded thumbnail that keeps its own copy of everything. All of it is removed; the scan data is untouched.
• PNG — no EXIF by convention, but text chunks (tEXt/iTXt/zTXt) carry plenty — and AI generators write your full prompt, model, sampler, and seed into them. Those chunks go; the colour profile stays.
• WebP — a RIFF container with optional EXIF and XMP chunks. Both are removed and the header flags are corrected, so decoders don't go looking for chunks that are no longer there.
• GIF — carries little beyond comment blocks, and has no lossless metadata path here — a GIF is re-encoded rather than edited in place, so it's the one format where the pixels are rewritten.

HEIC and camera RAW aren't supported yet. Export to JPEG first, then strip that copy.

Every metadata layer, not just the easy ones:

• EXIF — GPS coordinates, camera/phone model, timestamps, settings
• IPTC & XMP — editorial tags, edit history, creator-tool fields
• AI generation data — prompts and parameters from Stable Diffusion, tags from ChatGPT, Midjourney, Firefly
• C2PA Content Credentials — embedded provenance manifests
• Hidden thumbnails — embedded previews that keep their own copy of your metadata after other tools “clean” the file

Those last two are the ones most strippers miss. We show you a before/after report so you're not taking our word for it.

CleanImages runs entirely in your browser. There's no server to upload to — disconnect from the internet and it still works. Your image quality is untouched too: we remove the metadata segments and leave the pixels alone, so the stripped copy is visually identical to the original.

Selective stripping: keep what's useful (like your copyright) and strip only what's sensitive (like your location). One-click presets: Strip everything · Remove location only.
