Metadata Cleaner Online
A professional privacy tool to remove hidden metadata. For images, re-encode to strip EXIF (including GPS). For videos and audio, drop container tags without re-encoding—all locally in your browser.
Why remove metadata?
Photos often include EXIF fields such as camera model, software, and GPS coordinates. Videos and audio files can contain container tags (title, author, creation time) and chapters. Cleaning these improves your digital privacy and makes files safer for sharing.
100% Local Security
All operations run in your browser using Canvas and WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, making this the most private way to clear metadata from your media.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I remove metadata from my photos and videos?
Digital files often contain hidden privacy metadata such as the exact GPS location where a photo was taken, your camera serial number, or even the name of the original author. Our metadata remover strips this sensitive information to protect your identity before you share files online.
Does this tool remove GPS location from photos?
Yes! This exif cleaner specifically targets and removes GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) from JPEG, PNG, and HEIC images. By re-encoding the image locally, we ensure all identifying location data is completely destroyed.
Is my video or photo uploaded to a server?
No. This is a 100% secure metadata cleaner that runs entirely in your web browser. We use local Canvas processing for images and WebAssembly (FFmpeg.wasm) for videos. Your files never leave your computer, ensuring absolute digital privacy.
Which file formats are supported for metadata cleaning?
You can clean metadata from MP4, MKV, MOV, and MP3 files. We support stripping ID3 tags from music and container tags from videos. For images, we support common web formats including HEIC to JPG conversion with metadata removal.
