EXIF Photo Cleaner

Strip personal metadata — GPS, camera info, timestamps — from photos without uploading them anywhere.

Shipped HTMLCSSJavaScript January 19, 2025

Overview

Privacy-focused tool that removes EXIF metadata from photos entirely in your browser. No files leave your machine — everything runs client-side with zero server uploads.

How It Works

Uses exif-js to inspect photo metadata, then re-encodes selected images in the browser to strip embedded EXIF data. Batch downloads are available as a ZIP when the helper library loads, with individual downloads as the offline fallback.

Building It

Built after realizing how much personal data photos carry by default. The challenge was making the tool intuitive enough that anyone can use it without understanding what EXIF data is.

What's Next

Add before/after metadata comparison and drag-to-reorder queue.
