EXIF & Metadata Remover
The reliable way to remove metadata is to re-encode the pixels without it — which is exactly what this tool does, keeping the same format and full resolution. Then it does something most removers skip: it parses the produced file again and shows you the after-report, so "clean" is verified from the actual bytes you are about to download, not just promised.
The before report shows what was in the file (camera, timestamps, GPS) so you know what you just protected. Your image never leaves the browser in either step.

Frequently asked questions
Does stripping change the picture itself?
The pixels are re-encoded at high quality in the same format and dimensions. There can be a tiny, usually invisible, generation loss in JPG/WebP; PNG output is lossless.
What exactly is removed?
Everything the container carried: EXIF (camera, settings, timestamps), GPS coordinates, thumbnail images embedded in the EXIF, and PNG text chunks. The image content is untouched.
Why verify afterwards?
Because "removed" claims are easy to make and hard to check. Re-parsing the output file with the same parser as the Metadata Viewer means you can see the empty result yourself.
