Metadata remover

Remove location and camera data before you share

Photos from phones usually carry hidden EXIF data: the GPS location where they were taken, the date and time, and the make and model of the device. ImageSmith makes a clean copy with all of it removed.

  1. 1

    Choose a photo

    Pick the image you are about to share.

  2. 2

    It is cleaned straight away

    A copy is made with all metadata removed. There is nothing to set.

  3. 3

    Download

    Save the clean copy and share that one instead of the original.

Why remove metadata

  • Hide where you live

    A photo taken at home can reveal your address to anyone who opens its details.

  • Hide your device and time

    Camera model, phone model and exact timestamps are removed too.

  • Stays the right way up

    The orientation is applied to the pixels first, so removing it does not leave the photo sideways.

  • Private

    The photo is cleaned on your device — sending it to a server to remove private data would defeat the point.
