Remove EXIF data from images online
Every photo carries hidden EXIF metadata: where it was taken, which camera and phone took it, and when. ShredMeta shows you exactly what's inside, then strips it — without ever writing your file to disk.
What ShredMeta removes
GPS coordinates and location tags
Camera make, model and serial number
Timestamps, author and editing software
Questions people ask
What is EXIF data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in photos by cameras and phones. It commonly includes GPS coordinates, the camera or phone model, a serial number, timestamps, and the software used to edit the image.
Can someone see my location from a photo?
Yes. If a photo still has its GPS EXIF tags, anyone with the file can read the exact latitude and longitude where it was taken. Removing EXIF data before you share removes that risk.
Is removing metadata permanent?
The cleaned copy you download has the metadata removed for good. ShredMeta processes your file in memory, hands you the stripped version, and wipes both the original and the copy — nothing is stored.
Which image formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, TIFF, AVIF and GIF, plus short videos. You can strip everything at once or pick exactly which fields to drop.
