How the Metadata Cleaner works
Pick what goes
GPS, author details, EXIF, XMP, IPTC, comments or AI prompts. One click for the common cases.
Lossless
Only metadata is rewritten; image data is copied byte for byte. JPEG, PNG and WebP.
Credentials kept
Content Credentials stay. Use Synth Off if you want them gone too.
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove the GPS location from a photo?
Open the photo in the Metadata Cleaner, keep the “Personal info” preset and press Clean & download. GPS coordinates, author names and device serial numbers are removed; everything else stays.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
No. In the default Original format, only the metadata blocks are rewritten and the compressed image data is copied byte for byte, so the picture is identical. Converting to another format under More options re-encodes the pixels.
What's the difference between the Metadata Cleaner and Synth Off?
The Metadata Cleaner removes only what you choose, without touching quality, and keeps Content Credentials. Synth Off removes everything, Content Credentials included, and can subtly disrupt the pixels.
Why are Content Credentials kept?
Content Credentials (C2PA) are a signed record of an image's origin. The Metadata Cleaner never removes or forges them, but they will no longer validate once the file has changed. Use Synth Off if you want them removed.
Which formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG and WebP are cleaned losslessly. Other formats the browser can open can be converted to JPEG, PNG or WebP.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Every file is processed inside your browser tab. SynthOff has no upload endpoint, and its security policy blocks connections to any other server, so your images never leave your device.
