COMBb2's Strip Metadata tool lets you view and remove EXIF data embedded in your photos - camera model, GPS coordinates, timestamps, software information, and more. See exactly what data your photos contain, then strip it all with one click or selectively remove just GPS data. Essential for privacy before sharing photos online. Everything runs in your browser.
Common Use Cases
- Privacy before sharingRemove GPS location, device info, and timestamps before posting photos online.
- GPS removalStrip location coordinates from photos to prevent revealing where you live, work, or travel.
- EXIF inspectionView what metadata is embedded in photos you've received - see camera model, software, editing history.
- Document sanitizationRemove identifying metadata from images before sharing in professional or legal contexts.
- Social media prepClean metadata before uploading to platforms that may not strip it automatically.
How It Works
The tool reads EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata segments from image files and displays them in a human-readable format. When you choose to strip metadata, it reconstructs the image data without the metadata segments, producing a clean file. GPS coordinates can be removed independently while preserving other metadata.
Why Privacy Matters Here
This is fundamentally a privacy tool. Your photos contain hidden data: GPS coordinates that reveal where you were, device serial numbers, timestamps, and sometimes even thumbnail previews of the original (uncropped) image. Most people don't realize how much they're sharing. COMBb2 processes everything locally - ironic as it would be, your privacy tool should never compromise your privacy.
