Remove Image Metadata

Re-encode images to remove EXIF and location data

Re-encoding removes EXIF, GPS, XMP, and most application metadata while keeping the visible image.

Remove Image Metadata — what it does

Re-encode images so that EXIF metadata — camera model, timestamps, software and GPS coordinates — does not survive into the output, returning the cleaned set as a ZIP. Because the file is rebuilt from decoded pixels, there is no metadata block left to strip: the information simply is not carried across.

When this tool helps

  • Removing home or workplace coordinates from photos before posting them publicly.
  • Stripping camera and software fingerprints from images going to a client or a public site.
  • Cleaning a batch of photos before archiving them somewhere with wider access.

How to use it

  1. Choose the images to clean.
  2. Let the tool re-encode each one.
  3. Download the ZIP of cleaned images.
  4. Verify with the EXIF viewer that the metadata is gone.

Accuracy, limits, and good practice

  • Verify rather than assume: run one output through the EXIF viewer and confirm the fields you cared about are absent.
  • Re-encoding is lossy for JPEG, so cleaned copies are slightly lower quality than the originals — keep the originals archived privately.
  • Metadata is not the only leak: the image content itself, including a visible street sign or a reflection, can identify a location just as well.

Frequently asked questions

Does this remove the copyright field too?

All metadata is dropped, including authorship. If attribution matters, re-add it deliberately after cleaning.

Do platforms not strip EXIF anyway?

Many do, but not all, and not for every upload path. Cleaning before sharing means you are not relying on their behaviour.

Is image quality affected?

Slightly for lossy formats, since the file is re-encoded. Export quality is high, but the operation is not bit-identical.

移除圖片中繼資料能做什麼

重新編碼圖片,讓 EXIF 中繼資料——相機型號、時間戳、軟體與 GPS 座標——不會出現在輸出中,並把清理後的檔案打包成 ZIP。因為檔案是從解碼後的像素重建的,根本沒有中繼資料區塊需要移除:那些資訊就是沒有被帶過去。

什麼時候用得上

  • 公開發佈照片前,移除住家或工作地點的座標。
  • 把圖片交給客戶或放上公開網站前,清掉相機與軟體指紋。
  • 在把照片存到存取範圍更廣的地方之前,先整批清理。

使用步驟

  1. 選擇要清理的圖片。
  2. 讓工具逐張重新編碼。
  3. 下載清理後的 ZIP。
  4. 用 EXIF 檢視器確認中繼資料確實不見了。

精確度、限制與實務建議

  • 要驗證、不要假設:把一個輸出檔丟進 EXIF 檢視器,確認你在意的欄位確實不在。
  • JPEG 重新編碼是有損的,清理後的副本畫質略低於原檔——原檔請私下保存。
  • 中繼資料不是唯一的洩漏管道:畫面中的路牌或反射,同樣能指出位置。

常見問題

版權欄位也會被移除嗎?

所有中繼資料都會消失,包含作者資訊。若需要標示出處,請在清理後刻意重新加上。

平台不是本來就會清 EXIF 嗎?

許多平台會,但不是全部,也不是每個上傳路徑都會。分享前自己先清,就不必依賴它們的行為。

畫質會受影響嗎?

有損格式會略受影響,因為檔案被重新編碼。匯出品質很高,但並非位元完全相同。
