Remove EXIF, GPS, XMP and other metadata without uploading your images.
Files stay on your device.

Image files can contain information beyond the visible pixels. Depending on the camera and workflow, metadata can include capture time, camera model, editing software and sometimes location information.
Removing metadata is useful before publishing or sharing files when those details are unnecessary. The important part is to remove metadata without needlessly recompressing the image pixels.
EXIF is a common metadata system used by cameras and phones. It can store technical capture information and, when enabled, location data.
No. GPS data is only present when the device and settings recorded location information into the file.
A metadata-only cleanup should not change the visible pixels. Orientation is the important exception because some images depend on metadata to specify how they should be displayed.
Sometimes slightly, but metadata is usually small compared with the image data. Privacy and cleanliness are the main reasons to remove it.
Usually it is better to keep an untouched original and remove metadata from copies intended for publishing or sharing.
