Remove EXIF by Re-encoding an Image

Create a new PNG from the visible pixels of a JPEG, PNG or WebP image. Re-encoding avoids copying the original EXIF and descriptive metadata blocks into the new file. The original stays unchanged, and the separate output uses a generic filename.

How to use this tool

1. Choose one supported image of at most 25 MiB and 16 million decoded pixels.
2. Wait for the browser to decode and redraw it.
3. Inspect the new PNG preview, including its orientation and colors.
4. Download the new file and use it instead of the original.

Formula

Decoded image pixels → fresh canvas → newly encoded PNG

This is a pixel re-encoding workflow, not lossless deletion of selected JPEG segments. The browser may write basic output information such as resolution. Animated inputs produce a single decoded frame, and any visible text, faces or other identifying image content remains.

Example

A 160×100 JPEG is redrawn as a 160×100 PNG. Its original EXIF camera and GPS tags are not copied. Its file size can increase because PNG stores the decoded image differently from JPEG.

Review the result

Always inspect the generated preview before replacing a working copy. This tool does not alter your filesystem original and does not provide forensic anonymization.
