Remove Photo Metadata (EXIF) & Crop — Free Online Tool
Photos can embed GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, and timestamps—risky when you share screenshots of SSC, UPSC, or bank applications. This page previews readable metadata, removes EXIF from JPG files, and re-encodes PNGs without ancillary chunks. A second tab lets you crop with aspect presets for Instagram, passport, or freeform edits. Nothing uploads to PhotoSizeTool servers; both tabs execute in your browser. After cleaning, compress to the exact KB your portal demands or convert HEIC to JPG for wider compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EXIF data and why remove it?
EXIF is hidden data embedded in photos — GPS location, camera model, shooting date. Removing it before sharing protects your privacy.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
No. Metadata is separate from the visual data. Stripping it only reduces file size slightly.
Can I see my photo's GPS location before stripping?
Yes — the tool shows all detected metadata including GPS coordinates before you decide to remove.
What image formats are supported?
JPG and JPEG for full EXIF support. PNG metadata stripping is also supported.
Is the crop tool free?
Yes — both the EXIF stripper and crop tool are completely free with no limits.
