FAQs
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Cleaning runs entirely in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded or stored anywhere.
What metadata gets removed?
Re-encoding removes EXIF data including GPS coordinates, camera model, lens settings, dates and copyright fields.
Will the image quality change?
The pixels are re-encoded, so you may see a very small quality shift. Choose PNG or high-quality JPG if you need the best result.
Is the tool free to use?
Yes. Every Handio tool is free, with no sign-up, no limits and no watermarks.

Why use Metadata Remover?
Strip hidden data before a photo leaves your hands — many phones embed GPS coordinates, camera details and timestamps into every shot, and you may not want those traveling with the image.
- Remove the GPS location from holiday photos before publishing them on a public blog or forum.
- Clear camera model and lens info from photos before sharing them in a photography group.
- Wipe copyright and author fields before handing a batch of files to a client or collaborator.
Tips and Limits
Metadata removal works by re-encoding the image, so expect a small quality shift — pick PNG if you want lossless output or high-quality JPG otherwise. After cleaning, spot-check one file to confirm the details are actually gone. Process multiple files at once — all in your browser.
