100% Private — Everything happens locally
Your image is read directly in your browser using the File API. No data is uploaded to any server.
EXIF parsing is done in pure JavaScript from the raw binary bytes of the file.
The "Download without EXIF" button re-encodes your image via an HTML5 Canvas, which discards all metadata.
How it works?
JPEG files store metadata in APP1 markers (0xFF 0xE1) using the
EXIF standard. This tool reads the raw binary of your file as an ArrayBuffer, scans
for the APP1 marker, then parses the embedded TIFF-like structure — handling both
little-endian and big-endian byte orders. GPS coordinates stored as rational values (numerator/denominator pairs)
are converted to decimal degrees. Clicking Download without EXIF draws your image onto a
Canvas and exports it as a new PNG, which inherently contains no metadata.
