About Remove EXIF Data

Remove EXIF data before a photo goes online or to a stranger. Phones write the GPS position where a picture was taken, the date and time, and the camera model into the file, and a photo posted on a forum or sent to an online buyer can reveal your home address. Upload the photos and you get clean copies with that information gone.

For JPG, PNG and WebP, the metadata is cut out of the file directly, so the image data is not recompressed and quality stays exactly the same. EXIF, XMP, IPTC and comments go, while the color profile stays, so colors look unchanged. Keep the rotation info is on by default so photos still show the right way up. HEIC and TIFF files are saved again without metadata.

Why use Cubfile for this

  • No recompression

    JPG, PNG and WebP pixels are untouched, and only the metadata blocks are removed.

  • Location, camera and date gone

    GPS coordinates, device model, timestamps, XMP and IPTC data are stripped.

  • Right way up

    An optional minimal rotation tag keeps portrait photos from turning sideways.

  • Colors unchanged

    The embedded color profile is kept, so the photo looks identical.

FAQ

Remove EXIF Data: questions and answers

What does it take out when I remove EXIF data?
GPS location, camera and lens model, date and time, software notes, thumbnails, XMP and IPTC fields, and comments. The picture and its color profile stay.
Will the photo lose quality if I remove EXIF data?
Not for JPG, PNG or WebP, where the image data is copied unchanged. TIFF is saved again losslessly and HEIC at high quality. If you also want smaller files, Compress Image can leave the photo info out while it shrinks them.
Don't social networks remove location data anyway?
Some do for the copy they show, but email attachments, shared cloud links and send-original options in chat apps usually keep it. Cleaning photos yourself is the only way to be sure. What's visible in the picture itself, such as a house number, can be covered with Blur Image.
How many photos can I clean for free?
Visitors have 2 tasks in total and free accounts 2 per day, with photos up to 50 MB. VIP cleans up to 50 photos per task with no daily limit.
Isn't it risky to upload private photos to clean them?
They travel over HTTPS, are cleaned in an isolated process and deleted automatically after one hour, or at once with Delete my files now. We never look at them, share them or use them to train AI.
