Important Privacy Notes

Location and Device Data

Photos can contain EXIF fields such as capture time, GPS location, camera model and editing software. Re-encoding removes the original embedded metadata rather than attempting to display or selectively edit individual fields.

Check the New File

The cleaner creates a new image and leaves your original untouched. Review the cleaned image before deleting or sharing anything important.

Know the Limits

Visible information inside the picture is not removed. File-system dates may also be added again by your device, browser, download manager or sharing platform.

Why Use Our Image Metadata Cleaner?

Browser-Based Processing

Image re-encoding happens in your browser. The tool does not intentionally upload selected images to ToolCookie servers; normal page resources may still load according to the site privacy policy.

Originals Stay Untouched

The tool creates new cleaned image files and does not overwrite your originals, so you can compare and review them before sharing.

Practical Image Support

Clean JPEG, PNG and WebP images individually or in a batch. Multiple cleaned images can be packaged into a ZIP file in your browser.

How It Works

Upload Your Files

Drag and drop JPEG, PNG or WebP images, or click to select them from your device.

Analyze Metadata

The browser decodes each selected image and redraws its visible pixels onto a fresh canvas.

Clean & Download

Download one cleaned image directly or receive multiple cleaned images together in a ZIP file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How secure is this metadata cleaner tool? +

The selected images are processed in your browser and are not intentionally uploaded by this tool. However, no online service can promise complete security. The page also loads normal website resources, and you should review the site privacy policy for details.

What types of files can I clean? +

This version supports JPEG, PNG and WebP images. It does not clean PDF, Office, HEIC, RAW, GIF, video or audio files, because merely copying those files would not remove their metadata.

Can I choose what metadata to remove? +

No. This tool uses full image re-encoding instead of selective field editing. That provides a clearer and more dependable approach for the supported image formats.

What privacy risks does metadata pose? +

Image metadata can include capture time, GPS location, camera model and editing software. Re-encoding removes embedded metadata, but it cannot remove private information that is visibly present in the image itself.
