Remove EXIF metadata from an image
Every photo taken on a smartphone contains metadata: GPS coordinates, precise date and time, camera model, sometimes serial number. This information travels with the file when you publish it. Impmage lets you inspect and then erase it, without the image ever leaving your device.
How to use
- 1 Upload your image: Impmage instantly displays the metadata it contains.
- 2 Review the exposed data: GPS position, timestamp, camera details.
- 3 Export the cleaned version. Metadata is removed from the downloaded file.
100% Local
Cleaning metadata via a typical online service means trusting them with your photo, precisely the data you're trying to protect. Impmage reads and rewrites the file locally: EXIF reading and re-encoding happen in your browser, and nothing is transmitted. The tool works offline once the page is loaded.
✨ Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Impmage
What data is removed?
EXIF metadata from the exported file: GPS coordinates, date and time of capture, camera brand and model, lens settings, and proprietary manufacturer fields.
Is my image sent somewhere?
No. Metadata reading and re-encoding happen in your browser. No network request carries your file.
Is image quality affected?
Removing metadata requires re-encoding. Impmage preserves high quality by default; you can adjust the setting with the Optimize tool.
Don't social networks do this already?
Most strip EXIF on publish, but not consistently, and not for files sent via messaging, email, or shared storage. Cleaning before sending remains the only guarantee.
