Free tool
Every photo out of a phone or camera carries a hidden record: the device, the editing software, the timestamp, and often the exact GPS coordinates where it was taken. Drop a file below to see what yours is carrying, then strip it. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is re-encoded, so the pixels come out bit for bit identical.
This is the half that actually changes how your work looks when it gets shared. Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Slack and iMessage do not read the metadata inside your file. They read the Open Graph tags on the page the link points to. Fill these in and paste the result into that page's head.
A block of information written into the file alongside the picture. It usually records the camera or phone model, the lens, the exposure settings, the date and time, the editing software, and on most phones the GPS coordinates of where the shot was taken. None of it is visible in the photo itself, and all of it travels with the file.
A listing photo with coordinates baked in tells anyone who downloads it exactly where that property is, even if the address was never posted. The same is true of photos of a home, a child, or a private studio. Stripping the file before it leaves your machine removes the problem entirely.
No. Metadata sits in its own segments of a JPG or PNG, separate from the compressed picture data. This tool removes those segments and leaves everything else untouched, so the pixels in the clean copy are bit for bit identical to the original. It is not a re-save.
No. Every file is read and rewritten in your own browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, which makes it safe for client and commercial work.
Not directly, and it is worth being straight about that. Instagram, Facebook, X and LinkedIn strip most metadata on upload anyway, so what is inside the file has almost no bearing on reach. What genuinely changes how your work appears is the Open Graph tag set on the page being shared, which decides the headline, the description and the preview image. That is what the builder above generates.
1200 by 630 pixels is the safe default for a large link preview across Facebook, LinkedIn and X. Anything under 600 by 315 tends to collapse into a small square thumbnail. The builder above flags a size that is likely to render badly.
Not yet. Video containers cannot be rewritten in the browser without a large decoding library, so this tool handles JPG and PNG. The tag builder does cover video posts, and will produce the Open Graph video tags and player card for a hosted clip.
Not always. Author and copyright fields are the one part of the metadata worth keeping on work you want attributed. This tool removes everything, so if attribution matters, keep your original as the archive copy and share the clean one.
