Location data
Some phones and cameras store GPS coordinates, altitude and location timestamps.
What Is EXIF Metadata?
EXIF metadata is hidden information stored inside some image files. It may include the camera model, date taken, editing software, image orientation and GPS location.
You cannot normally see this information by looking at the photo. However, websites, apps and metadata inspection tools may still be able to read it.
Bulk EXIF Remover checks several images in one workflow and removes the supported metadata fields you select.
How to Remove Metadata from Multiple Images
- Add the JPG, PNG or WebP images you want to inspect.
- Scan the files to find supported metadata fields.
- Review GPS, camera, date and other available details.
- Choose all metadata or select specific groups to remove.
- Process the images and check the verification result.
- Download one cleaned image or save the batch as a ZIP file.
Examples: See Hidden Metadata Before and After Removal
A photo can look exactly the same after hidden details have been removed from the file.
Check your images
Add your files to the tool above to check for supported camera details, GPS coordinates, dates and editing software information.
What Information Can an Image Store?
Cameras, smartphones and editing apps may add technical information to an image file. The information stored depends on the device, app, format and export settings.
Why Remove Image Metadata?
Metadata can help you organise and edit photos. However, you may not want to include it when publishing or sharing an image.
Personal photo privacy
Remove GPS coordinates and location timestamps before sharing personal or family photos online.
Professional portfolios
Hide camera model, lens parameters, and exposure settings from public portfolio files.
Client deliverables
Remove internal editing software tags and author signatures before delivering final assets to clients.
Corporate & brand publishing
Clean official company media kits, product screenshots, and press releases before publishing.
Keep the original
Save a backup when you may need the camera, date, location or editing information later.
Metadata Removal Does Not Hide Visible Details
Removing EXIF metadata does not remove information that can be seen inside the picture.
Faces, addresses, documents, number plates, computer screens and location signs remain visible unless you edit or blur those areas.
Use Privacy Image Blur when visible details need to be hidden.
File Formats and Output Quality
JPG, PNG and WebP files can contain different types of metadata. The fields available for inspection depend on the source file and the libraries used by the tool.
Removing metadata may require the image to be exported again. This can increase or reduce the file size. JPG and WebP quality settings may also affect fine details. Use PNG when transparency needs to be preserved.
Transparency note
JPG does not support transparent pixels. Choose a background colour before converting a transparent image to JPG.
Privacy and Local Processing
The selected images are processed in your current browser session. They do not need to be uploaded to TryFormatter servers for metadata removal.
Keep the page open until processing, verification and ZIP creation are complete. Large images may use more browser memory, so split a large batch into smaller groups if the page becomes slow.
Limitations You Should Know
Only supported fields can be checked
The tool removes metadata supported by its parser and export process. It may not recognise every metadata format.
Visible details remain
Removing metadata does not blur or remove anything shown in the image pixels.
The exported file may change
A cleaned image may have a different file size, compression level or internal structure.
Orientation needs careful handling
The tool should apply the image orientation before removing the orientation field.
The original may still be useful
Metadata can help with photo organisation, editing and checking when an image was created.
Other apps may add new metadata
A website or app may add new information when you upload, edit or download an image again.
