Free Image Metadata Remover for EXIF and GPS Privacy

Digital photos may contain hidden metadata in addition to visible pixels. Depending on the camera, phone and editing software, this can include the device model, capture date, camera settings, GPS coordinates, author name, comments, copyright notices and other EXIF or application fields. The EKO24 Image Metadata Remover creates a newly encoded copy that does not carry common source metadata into the downloaded file.

How to remove metadata from an image

  1. Select a JPG, PNG or WebP image up to 20 MB.
  2. Read the rights warning and choose the clean output format.
  3. Adjust output quality for JPG or WebP if required.
  4. Click Remove Metadata, preview the clean copy and download it.

Privacy and copyright information

Removing GPS and device details can improve privacy before sharing a personal photo. However, metadata can also contain useful attribution and licensing information. Cleaning a file may remove the embedded author name, copyright notice or usage terms. This tool does not determine ownership and should only be used on images you own or are allowed to modify. If you want visible attribution after cleaning, first add a name or logo with the Watermark Maker.

What changes in the image?

The tool redraws the visible image into a new browser canvas and exports a new file. JPG and WebP output may be recompressed according to the selected quality. PNG can preserve transparency but may create a larger file. The process runs on your device; the selected image is not uploaded to EKO24.NET.

Frequently asked questions

Does this remove a visible watermark?

No. A visible watermark is part of the image pixels and remains visible. The tool removes hidden metadata carried by the source file.

Can metadata removal reduce the file size?

It may, but the final size mostly depends on dimensions, image content, output format and quality. Use the Image Compressor when size reduction is the main goal.

Can I recover removed metadata later?

Not from the cleaned copy. Keep the original file in a safe place if you may need its capture, author or licensing details.
