Remove metadata from iPhone photos

Delete GPS, camera, and timestamp data — free, private, runs in your browser.

Remove EXIF & metadata

Strip location, camera, and device data from a photo or video — 100% free, no account needed.

Why it matters

Your iPhone saves more than just the photo

Every photo your iPhone takes carries invisible EXIF data. Clean it before you text, email, or upload the original file anywhere else.

Remove iPhone GPS tags

iPhones embed precise location coordinates in nearly every photo — this strips that data before you share.

Clear device & camera info

Deletes the iPhone model, lens, and software tags EXIF data reveals about the device used.

No app to install

Works straight from Safari or any mobile browser — just open the page, no App Store download needed.

Processed on your device

Nothing is uploaded. Your photo is cleaned locally in the browser and never sent to a server.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

Why do iPhone photos need metadata removed before sharing?

By default, iPhone photos include precise GPS coordinates, the exact time taken, and your device model in their EXIF data. Sharing the original file — by email, messaging apps that preserve originals, or file transfer — can expose your location history to anyone who inspects it.

Do I need to install an app on my iPhone to use this?

No. This works directly in Safari or any mobile browser on your iPhone, or on desktop if you've transferred the photo over. There's nothing to install — just open the page and upload the photo.

Does this work with HEIC photos from the iPhone camera?

This tool works with JPG, PNG, and WEBP. If your iPhone is set to save in the HEIC format, use Share → "Options" → format JPEG when sending the file to this tool, or your Photos app's export/convert option first.

Is my iPhone photo uploaded to a server?

No. The photo is processed entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. It's never uploaded anywhere, which is why there's no login or account required.

Will the cleaned photo still look the same?

Yes. The photo is re-exported at high quality (92%), visually identical to the original — only the hidden metadata is removed.

Need to blur faces or plates too?

BGBlur also blurs faces, license plates, and custom regions in video — all in your browser.
