How to Remove Metadata from Photos
Photos contain hidden metadata (EXIF data) including GPS coordinates, camera model, date/time, and even your name. Before sharing photos online, remove this data to protect your privacy. SecureMint processes everything in your browser — your photos are never uploaded.
Steps
Open the metadata removal tool
Navigate to SecureMint's metadata removal page. Supports images (JPEG, PNG), PDFs, and Office documents.
Select your photo(s)
Drag and drop or select the photos you want to clean. Multiple files can be processed at once.
Review detected metadata
See all the hidden metadata found in your files: GPS coordinates, camera model, software used, creation date, and more.
Download the cleaned file
Download the file with all metadata stripped. The image quality is preserved — only the metadata is removed.
Why It's Secure
- EXIF metadata can reveal your exact location, device information, and identity.
- Social media platforms strip some metadata, but not all. Always remove before sharing.
- All processing happens in your browser — your photos never leave your device.
