Remove common metadata from an image

Re-export the displayed pixels into a fresh file without carrying over common EXIF, GPS, camera, or timestamp fields. The source stays in this browser tab.

How it works

01

Choose an image

Open a JPG, PNG, or WebP file that may contain embedded metadata.

02

Create a fresh copy

The browser decodes the displayed pixels and re-encodes them without copying the source file's metadata blocks.

03

Download the result

Save the fresh copy, then keep or delete the original according to your own privacy needs.

What stays private here

  • The source image is decoded in this browser tab.
  • Canvas creates the output file on this device.
  • No source image or output image is sent to Peelaway.
  • Nothing from this utility is added to your Peelaway account.

Questions about this tool

Which image metadata does this remove?

The fresh browser export does not copy common source EXIF, GPS, camera, timestamp, IPTC, or XMP blocks. It is a new encoded image rather than an edited original file.

Does removing metadata preserve the exact original bytes?

No. This privacy-first method re-encodes the displayed pixels, so JPEG or WebP output can differ slightly and color-profile data may not be preserved. Choose PNG when avoiding another lossy encoding pass matters most.

Does Peelaway inspect or upload the metadata?

No. The source is decoded and the fresh copy is created locally in the browser. Peelaway does not receive the image or its embedded metadata.
