Dedicated EXIF Metadata Remover

Inspect and strip all EXIF tags, camera serial numbers, lens models, shutter speed, ISO values, and GPS coordinates from your photos while preserving original dimensions.

How It Works

Processing location depends on the selected tool and mode. Browser-based tools process files locally; advanced image processing may send the selected file to the ZeroMeta processing endpoint. Files are not intended to be stored permanently.

STEP 01

Drop Your Photos

Select JPG, PNG, WebP, or TIFF photos directly from your phone or desktop.

STEP 02

EXIF Header Stripping

ZeroMeta isolates and eliminates APP1 / eXIf blocks without modifying photo quality.

STEP 03

Download Anonymous Photos

Save your stripped photos safely for public posting on social networks or classifieds.

Supported File Formats & Capabilities

ZeroMeta validates authentic file binary headers and signatures prior to processing.

Privacy Considerations

  • Runs 100% inside your browser sandbox.
  • Your photos are never transmitted over the internet or logged on any server.

Technical Boundaries

  • •Strips digital metadata only. Visible details in the image (like street signs or recognizable landmarks) remain visible in the photo pixels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EXIF data?

Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) is data automatically written into image files by digital cameras and smartphones. It records date, time, camera settings (aperture, ISO, shutter speed), phone serials, and exact GPS coordinates.

Does removing EXIF change the photo orientation?

No. ZeroMeta normalizes and bakes in the correct orientation so your photo displays upright everywhere without needing the EXIF orientation tag.
