Strip Metadata Before Social Media Upload
Social platforms strip some metadata but not reliably and not everywhere. Clean your photos first so the file you upload carries no location, device or timestamp data.

Cleaning profile
Every tracking and provenance segment is stripped; ICC color profiles are preserved.
Write a fresh Make, Model and ISO block into every cleaned image.
No images queued
Add JPEG, PNG or WebP images above to build a batch. You can queue 30+ files and clean them all at once.
Single-image inspector

Add an image above to inspect its metadata in detail.
Awaiting an image
Drop a JPEG, PNG or WebP above to read its metadata. Parsed fields appear here as a grouped evidence table.

How It Works
- 1
Drop the photos you plan to post; each is read into memory and queued.
- 2
The parser decodes EXIF, GPS, XMP and any C2PA provenance in the files.
- 3
Annihilation mode removes every metadata segment while preserving the ICC color profile.
- 4
Clean the batch and download the images ready for upload.
Binary Format Breakdown
| Segment | Carries | Action |
|---|---|---|
| JPEG APP1 (EXIF / XMP) | Camera settings, GPS, editing history | Segments rewritten or dropped whole |
| PNG tEXt / eXIf / caBX | Text metadata, EXIF and C2PA chunks | Whole chunks dropped; iCCP preserved |
| WebP EXIF / XMP / C2PA | RIFF metadata chunks | Chunks dropped and the RIFF header repaired |
Frequently Asked Questions
Don't social networks strip metadata already?
Some do, but the behavior varies by platform, upload path and file type. Cleaning the file yourself guarantees the metadata is gone before it leaves your device.
Will the platform re-compress my image?
Most platforms re-encode uploads, but that happens after the file leaves your device. Cleaning first ensures no metadata is transmitted at all.
Does cleaning reduce image quality?
No. Only metadata segments are removed; the compressed image data is copied verbatim.
