#Remove Metadata from Photos
Strip GPS coordinates, camera info, AI generation tags, and hidden data from your images — instantly, privately, for free.
##Your exact coordinates
Every photo taken with a smartphone embeds GPS coordinates accurate to a few meters. Share a photo of your front door and anyone can extract your home address.
⚠ Someone can find your home, workplace, or daily routine from photos you share online.
##Your device identity
Camera make, model, lens info, and sometimes serial numbers are embedded in every shot. This creates a unique fingerprint that can link anonymous photos back to your device.
⚠ Multiple 'anonymous' photos can be linked to the same device — and therefore to you.
##When you were there
Creation dates, modification dates, and timezone offsets reveal not just when a photo was taken, but your patterns — when you're home, at work, or traveling.
⚠ Combined with location data, timestamps map your daily movements with precision.
##AI generation fingerprints
Images from Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and Adobe Firefly now embed C2PA content credentials and XMP AI metadata that permanently mark them as AI-generated.
⚠ Social platforms and search engines are beginning to flag and demote AI-tagged content automatically.

##Why remove metadata from your photos?
Every photo taken with a modern smartphone or digital camera contains hidden metadata — GPS coordinates, camera details, timestamps, and sometimes even your name. This data is embedded automatically and most people never realize it's there.
When you share photos by email, cloud storage, messaging apps, or upload them to websites, this metadata often travels with the image. While some social media platforms strip metadata on upload, many sharing methods preserve it completely.
The privacy implications are significant. A photo taken at home reveals your home address. Photos over time reveal your daily patterns. For journalists, activists, and domestic abuse survivors, this data can be genuinely dangerous.
MetaStrip removes all hidden metadata from your photos instantly, directly in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server — processing happens entirely on your device.
