Image Metadata Scrubber
This free image metadata scrubber tool removes EXIF, GPS coordinates, camera details and timestamps by re-encoding your photo cleanly. It all happens on your device, so the original picture and its hidden data never leave your browser.
Re-encoding the image in your browser removes camera info, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and any other embedded metadata. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded to strip its metadata?
No. The image is re-encoded entirely in your browser, so neither the photo nor its EXIF and GPS data ever leaves your device.
What metadata does it remove?
Re-encoding drops EXIF camera info, GPS location coordinates, timestamps and any other embedded metadata, leaving just the pixels.
Does it change the image format or quality?
It keeps the original format — JPEG, WebP or PNG — and re-saves at high quality, so the picture looks the same but carries no hidden data.
Does it work offline?
Yes. PDFPowerHub is a PWA, so once loaded you can scrub image metadata with no internet connection.
