Remove EXIF Metadata from an Image
This tool re-encodes the visible pixels of a photo into a new PNG so the original EXIF metadata blocks are not carried into the downloaded copy.
Example
A phone photo may contain camera model, capture time and GPS coordinates. After re-encoding, the downloaded PNG keeps the visible image while leaving those original metadata blocks behind.
Factors That Affect the Result
The exported file is a newly encoded PNG, so file size and compression characteristics can differ from the original JPEG or other source format. For sensitive use, inspect the exported copy before sharing it publicly.

Technical Details and Limitations
EXIF and related metadata can contain camera settings, timestamps, device information and sometimes location data. Removing common metadata improves privacy, but exported images should still be checked because different formats and software can store information in EXIF, XMP, IPTC or other metadata blocks.
