Paste EXIF or key:value metadata dumps to strip GPS-like fields, serial identifiers, and similar keys. Does not parse binary image files in-browser.
Quick answer: Metadata Stripper
Redact common GPS/serial-style keys from pasted metadata text before sharing exports.
Example: Drop a text export with GPSLatitude lines - tool removes them while leaving benign copyright notes if they don’t match risky keys.
Calculations follow the documented formula on this page; rounding and input units can change the last digit-treat outputs as educational estimates unless you reconcile with source systems.
* This is an estimate. Actual amounts may vary slightly based on input assumptions.
Exif dumps leak location and device identifiers. Line-based stripping is a quick sanity pass before you paste logs into tickets or docs.

Inputs on this page: Metadata (one key per line: Key: value or Key=value). Assumptions stay visible so you can reproduce the figure elsewhere.

Click a question to expand the answer.
Yes, the Metadata Stripper is completely free with no hidden limits.
Yes. All tools are optimized for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
No - binary uploads are not processed; export metadata to text first.
Only common high-risk patterns are matched - manual review is still required.
Yes unless they match removal heuristics; verify output before publishing.
Redact common GPS/serial-style keys from pasted metadata text before sharing exports.
Drop a text export with GPSLatitude lines - tool removes them while leaving benign copyright notes if they don’t match risky keys.
Always re-open the output - custom vendor tags may still hide PII. For photos, re-export without metadata in Lightroom/mobile OS tools too. Don’t rely on this for legal discovery - use forensics-grade workflows when required.
