Media metadata scrubber & optimiser
Remove EXIF and GPS data, resize to web/social presets, compress, and inspect or edit existing metadata before scrubbing. Everything runs locally in your browser—no uploads, no server logging—so your location and camera details stay private.
Clean your images before sharing
Drop a photo, pick a preset, and download a clean copy. We remove EXIF and GPS data, scale to the dimensions you choose, and compress to WebP, JPG, or PNG directly in your browser.
- Runs entirely on-device; no files leave your computer or phone.
- Presets for hero banners, Instagram posts, stories, and thumbnails.
- Quality slider for WebP/JPG; PNG for lossless output.
- Automatic metadata scrubbing for privacy (EXIF, GPS, camera, lens), with an editable key-value view.

Strip EXIF/GPS, resize to presets, and compress before posting.
Resize + compress preset
Pick a preset to fit social/web targets. Aspect ratio is preserved while scaling down.
Output format
Lower = smaller files. 82 is a good default for socials and the web.
Metadata (view / edit)
Current EXIF/GPS fields are opened locally as key-value pairs. Edit or clear values to review what will be removed. Exports stay metadata-free by default.
No metadata detected in this file.
Note: Image exports still remove metadata for privacy. The JSON is for audit/share if you need a record of the fields you scrubbed.
Privacy + cleanup
- EXIF, GPS, camera make/model, lens, and serial fields are discarded.
- Images are re-encoded locally; nothing is uploaded or logged.
- Resizing keeps aspect ratio to avoid warped exports.
Best presets for web + socials
- Hero/cover: max 1920px for landing pages and blog headers.
- Square 1080px: Instagram feed and profile grids.
- Vertical 1080×1920: Stories, Reels covers, Shorts, and decks.
- Thumbnails: max 800px for previews, CMS uploads, and cards.
Aspect ratio is preserved in every preset so photos never get stretched or warped.
Why scrubbing matters
- Protects your location by removing GPS coordinates.
- Removes camera/lens serials and capture timestamps from files.
- Reduces upload time and bandwidth with leaner exports.
- Fits platform limits (e.g., CMS upload caps, social media size rules).
Because processing happens locally, you can use it on sensitive assets without exposing them to servers.
Frequently asked questions
How does the tool strip EXIF and GPS data?
The image is re-encoded locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Re-encoding removes EXIF, GPS, camera, lens, and serial metadata while keeping only the pixels you need to share.
Does anything get uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Images are opened, scrubbed, and exported locally, and object URLs are revoked when you reset.
Which presets are included?
You can keep the original size or fit images to web hero (max 1920px), social square (1080×1080), story vertical (1080×1920), and lightweight thumbnail (max 800px) presets. Aspect ratio is preserved.
Which formats can I export?
Export to WebP or JPG with adjustable quality, or PNG for lossless output. All formats are scrubbed of metadata.
Is orientation preserved?
Yes. The browser decodes the image using its built-in codecs, then we draw the pixels to canvas and export. For most mobile photos this preserves rotation and orientation.
