Remove EXIF

Strip location and camera metadata from JPEGs — GPS or camera EXIF should not ride along with a public upload. A phone photo is the wrong size, format, or weight for a form field or chat app.

Remove EXIF is built for private, in-browser work. Upload-based image sites often store temporary copies on someone else’s disk; SortMyFile’s default is the opposite — processing stays on your device for this utility. EXIF removal never uploads your photos. If a step needs a one-time language pack or WASM library from a CDN, that is asset delivery — not your document contents being sent to SortMyFile for server-side processing. Close the tab when you are done if you want memory cleared.

Strip location and camera metadata from JPEGs. Before you run Remove EXIF, keep an original copy of every source file. Spot-check the download on the same device you will use for the portal or email. Large scans and phone photos are limited by browser RAM — if a run stalls, shrink the input first or split the job. SortMyFile browser tools stay free forever with no daily caps.

Strip location and camera metadata from JPEGs — GPS or camera EXIF should not ride along with a public upload. A phone photo is the wrong size, format, or weight for a form field or chat app. People reach for Remove EXIF when a form, HR desk, or messaging app rejects the current file shape, size, or format and installing desktop software is overkill. Pair it with compress-image, heic-to-jpg, merge-pdf when you need a short pipeline (for example compress then OCR, or HEIC to JPG then JPG to PDF). Results are not a substitute for official portal rules — always re-read the receiving site’s instructions before a deadline.

Remove EXIF trades convenience for honesty about browser limits. Extremely large files, corrupted inputs, or DRM-protected media can fail. Password-protected PDFs need a password you already know — SortMyFile does not crack encryption. Free use does not require an account; Pro (when checkout ships) is planned to raise limits and reduce ads. Until then, the free tier is enough for most one-off private jobs.
