Local JPEG cleanup

Batch Remove EXIF Data

Review and remove the JPEG EXIF block from up to 10 photos, without sending the images to our server. Download each cleaned copy or bundle the results as a ZIP.

How the batch works

The preview highlights a small set of commonly sensitive fields. Cleanup then writes an empty EXIF structure into each JPEG; it does not re-encode or visually inspect the image.

1. Add JPEG copies
Choose up to 10 .jpg or .jpeg files. Keep your source files somewhere safe.
2. Review and clean
Expand a preview to check detected camera, lens, GPS, time, or software fields, then run the batch.
3. Download and verify
Download files individually or as processed-images.zip, then inspect a cleaned file before sharing.

What this tool can remove

The batch is designed for JPEG EXIF fields such as GPS coordinates, camera and lens details, capture dates, and software tags.

For a reproducible before-and-after example, open the EXIF privacy lab.

Limits and failure modes

A damaged, mislabeled, password-protected, or non-JPEG file can fail. The batch reports that file as an error and keeps processing the remaining files.

Cleanup is not a guarantee against IPTC, XMP, ICC, C2PA, application databases, cloud copies, filenames, or visible clues. Use the EXIF viewer to check a downloaded copy.

Frequently asked questions

How many photos can I clean at once?
The current batch accepts up to 10 JPEG files. Files are processed one at a time in your browser, so a large batch may take longer on a phone or older computer.
Are my photos uploaded?
The EXIF reading, removal, and ZIP creation in this tool run in your browser. The tool does not send image bytes, filenames, GPS coordinates, or EXIF values to EXIFDataView analytics.
Which file types does the batch remover support?
This batch workflow currently accepts JPEG and JPG files. Use a JPEG copy if your original is HEIC, RAW, PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, BMP, or SVG, and keep the original if its metadata or format matters.
Does it remove every kind of image metadata?
No. The tool replaces the JPEG EXIF block with an empty EXIF structure. It is not a general-purpose scrubber for every IPTC, XMP, ICC, C2PA, filename, or visible detail that another application may store or add.
Will removing EXIF hide everything private in a photo?
No. Visible faces, addresses, screens, reflections, landmarks, and filenames can still reveal information. Review the pixels and the downloaded filename before sharing.
Should I replace my originals with the cleaned files?
Usually not. Keep originals when capture time, camera settings, copyright fields, provenance, or evidentiary integrity may matter. Share a cleaned copy and verify it before deleting anything.
