How to Remove EXIF Metadata Before Sharing an Image

Create a new image export without embedded camera and location metadata.

Metadata can reveal more than intended when an image is shared publicly or sent outside its original context.

Start with the outcome you need

Remove metadata when you only need the visible image. Keep an untouched original if camera details or location information could matter later.

Make the important choice before exporting

A fresh export protects metadata privacy but does not change what is visibly shown inside the photo itself.
