EXIF Metadata Remover
Re-encode JPEG, PNG, or WebP images locally to reduce common embedded metadata without uploading the source file.
Create a local re-encoded copy of an image and review the format-specific metadata limitations before downloading.
Result
How it works
Create a separate re-encoded copy
The browser decodes the selected image locally, draws it into a canvas, and exports a separate file. The source image is not uploaded or overwritten.
Check location and camera metadata
Re-encoding can reduce common embedded metadata, including common GPS/location and camera fields, but format and browser behavior vary. Verify sensitive files with a dedicated metadata inspector before sharing.
Keep the original private
Store the untouched source separately and use the downloaded copy as a sharing candidate. If upload dimensions, compression, or transparency also matter, review those requirements before posting.

FAQ
Does this guarantee all EXIF removal?
No. Re-encoding can reduce common metadata, but browser and format support varies. Verify sensitive images with a dedicated metadata inspector.
Does SOLVEOZA upload my image?
No. Processing stays in your browser.
Are GPS or location tags removed?
The output is re-encoded locally, but verify GPS/location removal with the specific format and fixture you use before sharing.
Should I keep the original file?
Yes. The tool creates a separate output so you can keep the original file private and compare it with the re-encoded copy.
Does it preserve transparency?
PNG output targets transparency preservation, but verify the output for your source.
Are animated images supported?
Animated formats are not guaranteed and may be rejected or reduced to a single frame.
What is the input size limit?
Keep the source under 25 MiB for bounded browser memory use.
Is the source overwritten?
No. The tool creates a separate download.
Does analytics record my metadata or filename?
No. Custom analytics use coarse tool events and do not store filenames, pixels, metadata, or output files.
