Remove Metadata

Remove Metadata

Works with browser-decodable JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and SVG files. Animated GIF exports as the first frame.

How to use it

Three simple steps.

  1. Choose one or more image files from your device.
  2. Adjust the options for quality, dimensions, format, or placement.
  3. Process the files, review the output, then download each image or all images.

The clean export is generated from the visible pixels, which removes common embedded metadata from the new file.

Your images are decoded and exported with browser Canvas APIs. The files are not uploaded to PixelForge.

Use case notes

When this tool is the right choice

Use metadata removal before sharing photos publicly when GPS, camera, or editing information may not be necessary for the recipient.

The clean copy is rebuilt from visible pixels. It is useful for common metadata cleanup, but it should not be treated as a forensic privacy guarantee.

Always review the downloaded output and keep the original separately if you may need camera details later.

Output quality checklist

  • Open the downloaded file and compare it with the original.
  • Check faces, logos, labels, and small text at the size users will actually see.
  • Confirm the file format, dimensions, and file size match the destination requirement.

Common mistake to avoid

Do not overwrite the only copy of an important image. Browser tools are fast, but the safest workflow is to preserve originals and publish only the processed copy.
