How to Edit and Strip EXIF Metadata
Load your JPEG photos
Drag JPEG files onto the upload area or click to browse. Only JPG and JPEG files carry EXIF, so other formats are rejected. The editor reads each file with piexifjs directly in your browser, so the photos stay on your device the whole time.
Review and adjust fields by category
Metadata is grouped into Camera, Exposure, Location, Date, Image, and Other tables. Edit any value in its text box, untick the Include checkbox to drop a field, or use Remove All Metadata, Spoof Location, or Randomize Camera. Reset restores the original values for the active file.
Apply and download the new file
Click Apply and Download. The editor rebuilds the EXIF block from only the ticked, non-empty fields, writes it back into the image, and saves a new copy named with an -edited suffix. With several files loaded, switch tabs and download each one separately.
What Each Metadata Action Does
The toolbar gives you four one-click actions plus per-field control. Here is exactly what each does to the EXIF that gets written into the downloaded JPEG.
| Action | Effect | Fields touched |
|---|---|---|
| Remove All Metadata | Unticks every Include checkbox so nothing is written back | All EXIF fields |
| Spoof Location | Fills GPS with the coordinates of a random major city and ticks them | GPS latitude and longitude |
| Randomize Camera | Sets Make and Model to a random device from a built-in list | Camera make and model |
| Reset | Restores the original values read from the active file | All fields for that file |
| Untick a single field | Drops just that one tag from the output | The chosen field only |
| Edit a value | Writes your text or number in place of the original | The edited field |
Which Approach Fits Your Goal
Sharing photos publicly
Use Remove All Metadata to clear GPS, camera, and timestamps in one click, then Apply and Download. The image pixels are untouched, so visual quality stays the same.
Hiding only your location
Untick the Location fields, or use Spoof Location to swap your real coordinates for a random city. Other metadata such as exposure settings can stay if you want to keep it.
Obscuring the device
Use Randomize Camera to replace Make and Model with a different device, or edit those fields by hand. Useful when you do not want viewers to know what phone or camera you used.
Fixing a specific tag
Edit single fields directly, such as correcting Date Taken, adding a Copyright or Artist line, or updating the Description. Leave every other field as it was read from the file.
Common Problems and Fixes
My PNG or WebP file will not load
Only JPEG carries EXIF, so the editor accepts JPG and JPEG only. Convert the image to JPEG first if you need to edit its metadata here.
The tables are mostly empty
That photo simply has little or no EXIF data, which is normal for screenshots, downloaded images, or files already stripped by another app. You can still type values into any field and tick its Include box to add them.
A field did not appear in the download
Only ticked fields that contain a value are written back. An empty box, or one with its Include checkbox cleared, is left out. Confirm the value is filled and the checkbox is ticked before applying.
Exposure or resolution value looks wrong
Rational fields like F-Number, Exposure Time, and resolution accept either a fraction such as 1/100 or a plain decimal. Enter ISO, Orientation, and dimensions as whole numbers so they save correctly.
