Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. Photos are cleaned entirely inside your browser using JavaScript with zero file transfers. Only non-image formats (PDF, video, audio) use a server, where they are encrypted in transit, processed immediately, and deleted immediately without storage.

What metadata gets removed?

The tool removes the full hidden layer including EXIF (camera, lens, exposure, capture time, GPS coordinates and altitude, embedded thumbnails), XMP editing records, IPTC author and copyright fields, PNG text chunks, timestamps, and WebP EXIF and XMP chunks. A per-file report itemizes what was found before download.

Is it really free? What is the catch?

Cleaning photos is free up to 10 per visit without an account (50 with a free account), and PDF, video and audio files are free one at a time, all up to 50 MB per file. Paid tiers exist for batch cleaning and files over 50 MB. There are no ads or watermarks.

Which formats are supported?

Images (JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP) are cleaned losslessly in your browser. PDFs and common video and audio formats (MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A) are cleaned server-side and deleted immediately. HEIC and Office documents are on the roadmap.

Do paid files get stored?

No. Images are processed inside your browser. Files requiring server-side processing are sent over HTTPS, cleaned in memory, returned to you, and deleted immediately without being written to durable storage.

Overview

Screenshot of the Metadata Remover homepage — What metadata-remover-online.com looks like

Metadata Remover is a web application that removes hidden metadata from digital files while preserving the original content. For images (JPG, PNG, WebP), cleaning happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript—no uploads occur. For PDFs and audio/video files, processing happens server-side over an encrypted connection, with files deleted immediately after cleaning.

The tool removes EXIF data (camera, lens, exposure, GPS coordinates, altitude), XMP editing records, IPTC author and copyright fields, PNG text chunks, timestamps, and WebP metadata. Each file generates a report showing what metadata was found before download.

Photos up to 50 MB can be cleaned free without an account (up to 10 per visit, or 50 with a free account). PDF, video and audio files are also free one at a time up to 50 MB. Pro plans unlock batch cleaning and files over 50 MB: $5/month billed annually, $10 monthly, or one-time credit packs that never expire.
