What does EXIF data reveal about me?

Often more than people expect: the exact GPS location where the photo was taken, the date and time, your phone or camera model and sometimes its serial number, plus the editing software used. A photo taken at home can reveal your address.

Don't social networks remove EXIF data anyway?

Some do. Most large social networks strip location data from the photos they publish. Many other routes keep it: email attachments, messaging apps that send photos as files, cloud-storage share links, forums and marketplaces. Removing it yourself means you do not have to rely on each platform.

Does removing metadata reduce photo quality?

No. Tabreon cuts the metadata blocks out of the file and copies the image data unchanged. It never decodes or re-compresses the picture, so the result looks identical and is usually a little smaller.

Which formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG and WebP, including animated WebP. For iPhone HEIC photos, convert them to JPEG with the HEIC Converter first, then remove the metadata.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser. The photos, their metadata and their locations never leave your device.

What does "Keep orientation tag" do?

Phones often save photos sideways and use the orientation tag to tell viewers how to rotate them. Keeping it makes sure the clean photo still shows the right way up. It contains no personal information.

About this tool

Photos carry hidden details: where they were taken, the camera or phone that took them, when, and which apps edited them. Add JPEG, PNG or WebP photos to see what each one reveals, then remove it. Tabreon cuts the metadata out of the file without re-compressing the picture, so quality is untouched. Everything happens in your browser and the photos are never uploaded.

Runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded; your input never leaves your device. How it works

Quick answer

Add a JPEG, PNG or WebP photo to see the hidden metadata it carries, such as GPS location, camera model and the date it was taken, then remove it in one click. The picture is not re-compressed, so quality is untouched, and the photo never leaves your browser.

Why use Tabreon for this?

Your photos stay on your device. Reading and removing metadata both run in your browser.
Lossless: only the metadata blocks are cut out, so the image data is byte-for-byte the same.
See exactly what each photo reveals before you clean it, with a warning when it contains a GPS location.
Clean up to 20 photos at once and download them as a ZIP.

How to remove EXIF data from a photo

1Add your photos. Drop up to 20 JPEG, PNG or WebP photos onto the page, or click "Choose photos".
2Check what they reveal. Each photo lists its location, camera, date and software details. Photos with GPS data get a warning.
3Remove and download. Click "Remove metadata", then download each clean photo or all of them as a ZIP.

What is EXIF data?

EXIF is information your camera or phone saves inside every photo: the make and model, lens, exposure settings, the date and time, and often the GPS coordinates of where you were standing. Editing apps add more, such as XMP and IPTC blocks with software names, authors and copyright notes. Anyone who gets the original file can read all of it.

How Tabreon handles your data

Metadata is read with exifr, an open-source library, and removed by Tabreon's own code, both running in your browser. Removal cuts the metadata blocks out of the file without decoding or re-compressing the image, and the photo is never uploaded.

Key features

Shows GPS location, camera, lens, serial number, dates and software
Warns when a photo reveals where it was taken
Lossless removal with no re-compression
Keeps the colour profile and, optionally, the orientation tag
JPEG, PNG and WebP, including animated WebP
Up to 20 photos at once with ZIP download

Common use cases

Removing your home location from photos before listing something for sale online
Cleaning photos before posting them on a forum, blog or marketplace that keeps metadata
Checking what a photo reveals before emailing it or sharing a cloud link

Common mistakes & limitations

HEIC, GIF and TIFF files are not supported. Convert HEIC photos to JPEG first with the HEIC Converter.
Extra data stored after the image, such as the video in a motion photo or the HDR gain map in some phone photos, is removed too, so those become ordinary still photos.
The orientation tag can only be kept for JPEG photos.
Files over 50 MB are skipped.
