Remove EXIF data without losing quality
EXIF data is written into photos by cameras and phones: the camera, lens and settings, the date and time, often the GPS location, and sometimes a serial number and the owner's name. This page removes all of it, along with XMP and IPTC data, comments and embedded previews.
Most EXIF removers re-save the photo, which loses a little quality each time. Here, JPG, PNG and WEBP files are cleaned without re-compressing: the picture data is copied exactly and only the hidden data is left out.
