Image Metadata Scrubber

PRIVACY & SECURITY

Re-encoding removes metadata, not visible information

This tool does not blur faces, remove text, hide landmarks, redact reflections, or remove other information visible in the image itself. A photo can reveal sensitive information even after its embedded metadata has been removed.

IMPORTANT

Do not rely on a metadata scrubber as forensic proof

The output is newly encoded from the image pixels and is intended to remove common metadata from normal JPG, PNG, and WebP files. Different browsers and encoders may write minimal structural information required by the output format, so this tool should not be described as guaranteeing that every possible byte of metadata has been removed.
