Step-by-Step Privacy Guide

Step 1 — Open the EXIF Remover

Go to our EXIF Remover tool. Your photos are never uploaded — everything runs locally in your browser.

Step 2 — Upload your photo

Drop your JPEG, PNG, or WebP image into the upload area. The tool reads the file locally and shows you a preview of all metadata embedded in it.

Step 3 — Review the metadata

You'll see the full EXIF data found in your photo — you may be surprised to find GPS coordinates pinpointing exactly where you were when you took it.

Frequently asked questions

Is it possible to recover EXIF data once removed?

No. Once the metadata is stripped and a new file is saved, the old hidden information is physically gone. It cannot be recovered by the recipient.

Does this tool work with raw files?

Our browser-based tool is optimized for standard web formats like JPG, PNG, and WebP. For professional RAW camera formats, you might need specialized desktop software.

Is it safe to use FreeTools for private photos?

Absolutely. Your photos are never uploaded to any server. All processing happens locally in your browser's memory, ensuring 100% privacy.
