About remove metadata
Remove Metadata is part of the PixelDesk basic editing collection. Strip EXIF, GPS and camera data by re-encoding pixels only. Everyday corrections — cropping, rotating, watermarking, metadata and background clean-up — without installing an editor.
Because everything is processed locally, remove metadata works instantly even on large files, keeps full quality until you choose to compress, and never stores a copy of your picture. There is no queue, no sign-up and no daily limit.
Frequently asked questions
- Is remove metadata free to use?
- Yes. Remove Metadata is completely free, with no account, no watermark and no limit on how many files you process.
- Are my photos uploaded to a server?
- No. Every operation runs inside your browser using its own canvas engine, so your images never leave your device.
- Which devices and browsers work?
- Any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or iOS. After the first visit most tools keep working offline.
- What can I do after remove metadata?
- Chain it with other steps — resize, change DPI, blur, replace the background or compress to an exact KB target — in the PixelDesk Step Editor.
