Image Metadata Remover - Clean EXIF Data Online

PrivacyTools is a free online service dedicated to helping individuals protect their digital privacy. Our mission is to provide easy-to-use tools that empower people to take control of their personal information online.

Our Story

Founded in 2023, PrivacyTools was created by a team of privacy-conscious developers who recognized the need for simple, accessible tools to help people protect their digital footprint. What started as a single metadata removal tool has grown into a suite of privacy-focused utilities.

How We Work

Unlike many online tools, we prioritize your privacy by processing all files directly in your browser whenever possible. This means your sensitive data never needs to be uploaded to our servers. When server-side processing is required, we implement strict data retention policies to ensure your files are deleted immediately after processing.

The Team

Our small but dedicated team includes privacy advocates, security researchers, and web developers united by a common goal: making privacy tools accessible to everyone.

When you take a photo with your smartphone or digital camera, the image file contains more than just the picture. Hidden within the file is metadata - information about when, where, and how the photo was taken. This metadata, often called EXIF data, can include:

GPS coordinates showing exactly where the photo was taken
The date and time the photo was captured
Camera make and model
Camera settings like aperture, shutter speed, and ISO
Software used to edit the image

While this information can be useful for photographers organizing their work, it can also pose privacy risks when sharing images online...
