Strip EXIF & Image Metadata — Private Browser Tool
Runs in your browser — your photos are never uploaded to our servers.
- Files never leave your device
- No signup · Free in-browser conversion
Why Strip EXIF Locally?
Photos can embed GPS coordinates, device serials, and timestamps—risky before posting online or sending to strangers.
Re-encoding in the browser removes most embedded metadata without uploading sensitive images to a server.
Supports HEIC, JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF in one batch session. HEIC converts to JPG without preserving EXIF.
How to convert (JPG → JPG) in 3 steps
- Add photos in any supported format (HEIC, JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF).
- Click Strip metadata. Each file re-encodes locally with metadata removed.
- Download clean files or a ZIP—ready to share safely.
Privacy: Files never leave your browser
Metadata removal runs client-side. Your photos are never uploaded for processing.
Remove GPS and EXIF before sharing online
Reddit, marketplace listings, and dating-app screenshots often leak location via EXIF. Strip metadata locally before upload—especially for HEIC shots from iPhone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata is removed?
Re-encoding strips EXIF, GPS, and most embedded tags. Output is a fresh JPG, PNG, or WebP without the original metadata blocks.
Does this work on iPhone HEIC photos?
Yes. HEIC files convert to JPG without copying EXIF—ideal before posting location-sensitive shots.
Is this safer than online EXIF removers?
Yes. Cloud tools receive your full image bytes. HeicSave processes files only in your browser tab.
Batch remove metadata?
Yes. Mix formats in one session and download a ZIP of cleaned files.
Will image quality change?
JPG and WebP outputs use high quality (90%). PNG stays lossless. Some generation loss may occur for already-compressed sources.
