Use this tool

Why use FilePebble?

  • Runs locally in your browser
  • No account or watermark
  • Automatic download when ready

How it works

  1. Add a photo to create a new copy without the original EXIF metadata. Visible faces, addresses and text are not removed.
  2. Adjust the available options and start processing.
  3. The finished result downloads automatically.

Files stay on your device

Supported PDF and image operations run in your browser. FilePebble does not upload the selected file contents to its server.

Before you start

Large files depend on your device's available memory. Keep the original until you have checked the result.

Good uses for this tool

  • Remove camera and software details before publishing a photo.
  • Reduce accidental disclosure of capture time or GPS information.
  • Create a clean sharing copy while preserving the original privately.

A reliable workflow

  1. Keep the original when capture information may be important later.
  2. Create a cleaned image copy in the browser.
  3. Inspect the downloaded image and use that copy for sharing.
  4. Also review the visible picture for faces, addresses, screens, badges, and reflections.

What to check before sharing

EXIF and related metadata can include device model, timestamp, orientation, editing software, and sometimes coordinates. Not every image contains every field. Re-encoding creates a fresh copy without relying on the original metadata container.

Honest limitations

Metadata removal does not blur or hide information visible in the pixels. It also cannot prevent a receiving platform from adding its own metadata after upload.

If the result is not right

If orientation changes, rotate the cleaned copy and check it again. Do not delete the original until the new image displays correctly in the app where it will be used.

Frequently asked questions

Is Remove image metadata free?

Yes. The tool is free to use, requires no account, and adds no watermark.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Supported processing happens locally in your browser. Hosting and analytics receive normal page-request data, not the contents of files you process.

Which formats are supported?

This tool supports JPG, PNG, WebP. Browser memory and unusual or damaged files can affect very large jobs.
