How to Use the Exif Metadata & GPS Tag Stripper
- 1 Upload any camera or smartphone photo containing potential GPS or EXIF tags.
- 2 The tool decodes pure raster pixels onto an isolated canvas, dropping all metadata binary chunks.
- 3 Click "Download Sanitized Image" to save your clean, untracked photo.
Methodology & Algorithmic Standards
Canvas pixel extraction fundamentally discards all non-image APP1/APP2 EXIF and XMP metadata segments, ensuring zero leakage of GPS coordinates, camera models, or timestamps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I remove EXIF data before sharing photos? ▼
