Protect Your Image Privacy
Every photo you take contains hidden details (EXIF metadata) such as where it was captured (GPS coordinates), when it was shot, and which camera or phone you used. Removing this data — like removing photo location info, camera serials, and timestamps — is essential to protect your image privacy. Whether you need to wipe GPS tags from a JPEG or strip EXIF from HEIC images taken on an iPhone, OneImage EXIF Remover keeps the process fast and local so your personal data never leaves your device.

What is EXIF data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) metadata stores details such as GPS coordinates, camera model, lens info, timestamps, and software used to edit an image. When photos are shared online this data can accidentally expose private information about where you live or work. The OneImage EXIF remover cleans this metadata in your browser while keeping visual quality intact.
EXIF removal FAQ
Answering the most common questions about metadata, privacy, and HEIC support.
What is EXIF metadata in photos?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) metadata is hidden information stored in image files. It includes GPS location, camera make and model, date and time, and detailed camera settings — essentially a digital fingerprint of your photo.
How can I remove location data (geotags) from my photos?
Upload your photos to OneImage EXIF Remover and it will strip GPS coordinates, altitude, and map references automatically so no one can see where the image was captured. You can disable geotagging for new shots, but existing images still need an EXIF remover.
Can I remove EXIF metadata from HEIC (iPhone) images?
Yes. The tool supports HEIC files from iPhones and iPads, converts them to a high-quality JPEG behind the scenes, and deletes every EXIF and XMP tag so you can safely share the result.
Does removing EXIF data affect image quality or format?
No. Removing metadata cleans the data wrapper only — pixels, resolution, and colors stay the same, and file size may even drop slightly once the metadata is gone.
Do social networks remove metadata for me?
Some platforms partially strip EXIF data, but policies vary and older uploads may still expose GPS or camera info. For consistent privacy, remove metadata yourself before posting.
