Your document has been re-encoded and rebuilt locally. All EXIF metadata has been stripped and selected regions permanently covered.
100% Private Image and PDF Metadata Detector & Scrubber
Digital photos carry hidden EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) metadata that exposes sensitive personal information. Every photo taken with a modern smartphone or DSLR embeds precise GPS coordinates, device serial numbers, camera sensor settings, and exact capture timestamps.
The Infontis Metadata Scrubber inspects and strips this tracking layer entirely within your local browser memory before you share images online.
What Metadata Does This Tool Detect & Remove?
- GPS Location Tags: Latitude, longitude, altitude, and location timestamps that expose your home, office, or travel whereabouts.
- Device Identifiers: Phone make, model, lens parameters, and operating system build.
- Camera Settings: Exposure, shutter speed, ISO values, focal length, and flash mode.
- Digital Footprints: Editing history, software versions (Photoshop, Lightroom), and thumbnail cache markers.
How to Strip Image Metadata in 3 Steps
- Upload File: Drag and drop your JPEG, PNG, WebP or PDF file into the scanner.
- Review Extracted EXIF: Inspect the detected metadata properties and location risk ratings.
- Scrub & Download: Enter a clean file name and click Strip All Metadata & Download to save an untracked, high-fidelity image.

Frequently Asked Questions (AI & GEO Schema)
Does stripping metadata reduce photo quality?
No. Our binary slicing engine isolates and deletes only the APP1 EXIF/XMP header segments while keeping raw image pixels untouched.
Can Infontis see or store my uploaded images?
No. The entire scan and scrub process runs locally inside your web browser via the HTML5 FileReader API. No data is transmitted to our servers.
Which image formats are supported?
JPEG, JPG, PNG, WebP, PDF files up to 50MB.
