About This Tool

Photos from phones and cameras often carry hidden metadata — including your exact GPS location, camera model, and the date and time the photo was taken. This tool re-encodes your image through a canvas, which strips all of that hidden data, leaving only the visible pixels.

How to Use This Tool

Step 1 — Upload your photo.

Step 2 — Review what gets removed in the list shown.

Step 3 — Download the clean version before sharing it online.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Sharing original phone photos directly. Many phones embed exact GPS coordinates by default — always strip metadata before posting photos taken at home or other private locations.

Assuming social platforms strip metadata for you. Some do, some don't — it's safer to strip it yourself first.

Does this reduce image quality?

Re-encoding at high quality (95%) preserves visual quality closely to the original, though it is technically a re-compression for JPGs.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No, the entire process happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API.
