Does removing metadata change how the photo looks?

No. The pixels are copied exactly as they appear; only the invisible data blocks are discarded.

Can it remove AI prompts from Midjourney or Stable Diffusion images?

Yes. Prompts live in XMP/EXIF blocks, and the tool discards all of them — the output contains only pixels.

How can I verify the metadata is really gone?

Run the cleaned file through the Metadata Checker tool. It should come back showing no EXIF, XMP or IPTC data.

Is my photo uploaded during cleaning?

No. The entire process runs in your browser, so the original never leaves your device.

How to Remove Metadata From Photos (EXIF, GPS, AI Tags)

How to remove metadata from photos

Every photo you take carries an invisible passenger: metadata. A single JPEG can reveal where it was taken (GPS coordinates), when, on which phone or camera, with what settings — and if the image came from an AI generator, often the exact prompt used to create it.

Before you post a photo publicly, sell an image, or share AI work without its prompt attached, it's worth stripping that data out. This guide shows how to remove all of it for free, privately, in your browser.

What's actually hidden in your photos

Camera photos embed EXIF blocks: device model, timestamps, exposure settings and — if location was on — precise GPS coordinates that can map to your home or workplace.

AI-generated images add XMP blocks where tools like Stable Diffusion and Midjourney record prompts, seeds and model versions. IPTC blocks may carry author and copyright fields added by editing software.

Strip the metadata in your browser

The remover works by extracting only the visible pixels and saving them as a brand-new file, so every hidden block is left behind by construction — nothing to configure, nothing to miss.

1Open the free AI Metadata Remover.
2Drag in your JPG, PNG or WebP photo.
3Click Remove Metadata — the clean copy is generated instantly.
4Download the scrubbed image and share it safely.

Don't social networks already strip EXIF?

Most big platforms remove EXIF from displayed images, but that protects viewers, not you — the platform itself still receives the original with location intact. Files you share directly (email, messaging apps, cloud links, marketplaces) usually keep every byte of metadata.

Scrubbing before the file leaves your device is the only version of this you fully control. Because this tool runs locally, even the scrubbing step exposes nothing.
