Remove EXIF metadata and GPS from photos
Photos silently carry hidden EXIF data — the GPS coordinates where they were taken, your device model, and timestamps. Scrub all of it before you share, without the picture ever leaving your browser.

How it works
- Open the Scrub tool and drop in a JPG or PNG.
- FileX re-encodes the image at full quality, keeping the pixels and discarding every EXIF field.
- Download the clean copy — no GPS, no device, no timestamp metadata.
What EXIF can reveal about you
A single photo posted online can expose your home address (from GPS), your phone model, and exactly when a picture was taken. Use the Inspect tool first to see what a file is carrying, then scrub it here.
Frequently asked questions
Does scrubbing reduce image quality?
The image is re-encoded at full quality, so there is no meaningful visible loss. Only the hidden metadata is removed — the pixels are preserved.
Is the photo uploaded to strip the data?
No. The re-encode happens on a canvas in your browser. The photo never touches a server.
