WebP EXIF, XMP & C2PA Metadata Scrubber
WebP stores metadata in RIFF chunks. Remove the EXIF, XMP and C2PA chunks and repair the file header so the image still opens with its colors intact.

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.

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 a WebP; the RIFF walker enumerates every chunk in the file.
- 2
EXIF, XMP and C2PA chunks are identified alongside the image bitstream and ICCP profile.
- 3
Annihilation mode removes every metadata chunk and repairs the RIFF size and VP8X feature flags.
- 4
Clean and download a WebP that still renders with its original colors.
Binary Format Breakdown
| Segment | Carries | Action |
|---|---|---|
| WebP EXIF | Camera and location metadata in a RIFF chunk | Chunk dropped and the VP8X EXIF flag cleared |
| WebP XMP | Editing history and creator metadata | Chunk dropped and the VP8X XMP flag cleared |
| WebP C2PA | Content Credentials provenance | Chunk dropped |
| WebP ICCP | The embedded ICC color profile | Always preserved |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a WebP file?
WebP is a modern image format from Google that supports lossy and lossless compression. It stores metadata in RIFF chunks, similar to how WAV stores audio.
Why does the file header need repairing?
The RIFF header records the total file size and the VP8X chunk records which features are present. Removing chunks requires updating both so the file stays valid.
Is the image bitstream touched?
No. Only metadata chunks are removed; the compressed image data is copied verbatim.
