Free Image Metadata Remover

An image metadata remover deletes the hidden information stored inside a photo file, such as camera model, capture date and GPS location. SocQ’s remover does this by redrawing the photo in your browser and exporting a new file that contains only the image itself.

1. Click Choose files and select up to 20 photos. 2. Wait a moment for the clean copies to appear. 3. Open Photo information: before and after to compare the data. 4. Click Download or Download ZIP to save the clean copies.

Yes. Expand Photo information: before and after under each result. The before section lists the EXIF and GPS fields found in your file, and the after section shows the same check on a clean export. PNG files also list basic header details such as width and bit depth, which don’t reveal anything personal.

A JPG photo is exported from the browser canvas as a JPG at 90% quality, with the same width and height. PNG, WebP and AVIF files are exported as PNG, which stores every pixel without new compression but can be larger than the original. To turn a PNG copy into a JPG, run it through SocQ’s WebP to JPG Converter, which also accepts PNG.

The width, height and visible orientation stay the same. Because the color profile isn’t carried over, photos shot in a wide color space can look slightly less saturated. Compare the preview with your original before posting.

Many large social platforms strip location data from public uploads, but email attachments, files sent as documents in chat apps, cloud links and forums can keep it. Cleaning photos yourself means you don’t have to rely on how each site handles them.

Yes. It’s free with no account required, and the clean copies have no watermark. You can process up to 20 photos per batch as often as you like.
