INITIALISATION DU SYSTÈME...
EXIF is the structured record a camera or phone writes into every photo: date and time, camera and lens model, exposure settings, orientation, sometimes a serial number, and — when location services are on — a full GPS position stored in a dedicated GPS IFD. Posting a photo with its EXIF intact hands all of that to anyone who downloads it. GhostMeta removes EXIF data online without uploading anything: the file is decoded in your browser, the EXIF tags are listed so you can see the exposure, and a clean copy is rebuilt with the entire EXIF block removed. The GPS coordinates go first, along with the device identifiers that let someone fingerprint every photo you have ever shared. There is no server round-trip, no queue and no account — drop a JPEG or PNG, read what the camera recorded, and download a version that carries none of it. For a photo that has already been resized or screenshotted, GhostMeta still checks for residual EXIF and strips whatever remains.
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata the camera embeds: timestamp, camera and lens model, exposure, orientation and — if geotagging is enabled — GPS latitude and longitude in a dedicated GPS IFD.
No. The EXIF is read and stripped locally in your browser. The photo never touches a server, so removing EXIF online here is as private as doing it offline.
Yes. The GPS IFD is part of the EXIF block and is removed with everything else, so the downloaded copy has no coordinates.
JPEG and PNG directly; HEIC (iPhone) is converted in-browser then cleaned; WebP is supported. Most photos people share online are JPEG, where EXIF is most common.
Yes — GhostMeta shows the full EXIF table first, flagging sensitive fields like GPS, so you can confirm what is there before downloading the stripped copy.
Yes. Removing EXIF from a single photo is free with no sign-up. Batch cleaning of many files at once is a Premium convenience.
