Strip EXIF/GPS, resize to presets, and compress before posting.
Resize and compress preset
Choose a preset for social or web targets. Aspect ratio is preserved while scaling down.
Output format
Lower means smaller files. 82 is a good default for social media and the web.
Metadata (view or edit)
Current EXIF/GPS fields are opened locally as key-value pairs. Edit or clear values to review what will be removed. Exports stay metadata-free by default.
No metadata detected in this file.
Note: image exports still remove metadata for privacy. The JSON provides a record of the fields you scrubbed.
Privacy and cleanup
- EXIF, GPS, camera make/model, lens, and serial fields are discarded.
- Images are re-encoded locally; nothing is uploaded or logged.
- Resizing keeps the aspect ratio to avoid warped exports.
Clean your images before sharing
- Runs entirely on your device; files never leave your computer or phone.
- Presets for hero banners, social posts, stories, and thumbnails.
- Quality control for WebP and JPG; lossless PNG output.
- Automatic metadata scrubbing with an editable key-value inspection view.
Drop a photo, choose a preset, and download a clean copy. The tool removes EXIF and GPS data, scales to your chosen dimensions, and compresses to WebP, JPG, or PNG directly in your browser.
Best presets for the web and social media
- Hero or cover: up to 1920px for landing pages and blog headers.
- Square 1080px: social feeds and profile grids.
- Vertical 1080×1920: Stories, Reels covers, Shorts, and slide decks.
- Thumbnail: up to 800px for previews, CMS uploads, and cards.
Every preset preserves the aspect ratio, so photos are never stretched or warped.
Why scrubbing matters
- Protects your location by removing GPS coordinates.
- Removes camera and lens serials plus capture timestamps.
- Reduces upload time and bandwidth with leaner exports.
- Helps meet CMS and social-platform file-size limits.
Because processing happens locally, you can use it on sensitive assets without exposing them to a server.
For format conversion, pair it with the Image Converter.
Frequently asked questions
How does the tool strip EXIF and GPS data?
The image is re-encoded locally in your browser with the Canvas API. Re-encoding removes EXIF, GPS, camera, lens, and serial metadata while keeping only the pixels you need to share.
Does anything get uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Images are opened, scrubbed, and exported locally, and object URLs are revoked when you reset.
Which presets are included?
Keep the original size or fit images to a web hero, social square, vertical story, or lightweight thumbnail. Every preset preserves the aspect ratio.
Which formats can I export?
Export to WebP or JPG with adjustable quality, or PNG for lossless output. All formats are scrubbed of metadata.
Is orientation preserved?
Yes. The browser decodes the image with its built-in codecs, draws the pixels to a canvas, and exports them. This preserves rotation and orientation for most mobile photos.
