Remove metadata from photo
Location, camera, date and owner taken out of your photos on your device. The picture isn't saved again, and nothing is uploaded.
How to use it
Choose one photo, or up to ten.
See what each one says: where and when it was taken, the camera, the owner.
Press Remove metadata and save the clean copy: the same picture, nothing else.
What a photo can say about you
| Location | The exact place the photo was taken, from the phone's GPS |
|---|---|
| Camera and date | The phone or camera, its serial number, and the minute the photo was taken |
| Owner and software | A name, a copyright line, the app that edited it |
| Hidden thumbnail | A small copy of the photo, which can still show what was cropped out |
| Text notes | Captions, comments, and the prompt an AI image was made from |
The same picture, nothing lost
Most tools save a photo again to drop its metadata, and every save of a JPG loses a little quality. ChobiKit doesn't: it takes the metadata out of the file and leaves the picture's own data as it was, so the pixels are exactly the same. It keeps only what changes how the picture looks: which way up it is, its colours and its print size.
Before you post or send
Photos shared in a chat, a listing or a forum can carry your home's location. Remove it first, especially from photos taken at home, of children, or of things you sell.
On your device
The photos are read and cleaned in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and the clean copies are saved straight to your device.
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove metadata from a photo?
Choose the photo, see what it says, and press Remove metadata. Then download the clean copy: the same picture, without the location, the camera or the date.
Does it remove the location?
Yes. The GPS position goes, and so does any copy of it in XMP data. Nothing that says where the photo was taken is left.
Does removing metadata lower the quality?
No. The photo isn't saved again: only the metadata is taken out of the file, so the picture is exactly the same.
Will my photo turn sideways?
No. Which way up the photo is shown is kept, along with its colours and print size. They say nothing about who took it.
Which files does it work on?
JPG, PNG and WebP, up to ten at once, each up to 20 MB. For HEIC or AVIF, convert the photo first: the converter's copy carries no metadata.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser, on your device.
