Strip photo metadata

Remove EXIF data online

Remove location data from a photo before sharing, then add a watermark to the image online free. ShareSafeAI re-saves the picture with PHP GD so GPS and camera EXIF do not travel with the file. No signup.

Why strip photo metadata?

Phone cameras often embed GPS, device model, and timestamps in EXIF. Posting the original file can reveal a home address or a child’s school. This tool opens the image pixels and writes a new file. Re-encoding with GD drops the EXIF block. That is the reliable way to remove EXIF data online when you cannot trust a “download original” button.

Add a watermark to a photo free if you are sending a proof to a client or posting a portfolio shot. The overlay is drawn in the corner with GD. The cleaned file is stored only in this tool’s image_shares table and folder, not mixed with Secure File Share uploads.

How it works

  1. Upload a JPG, PNG, WEBP, or GIF.
  2. We correct JPEG orientation from EXIF, then discard the metadata by saving a new image.
  3. Optional watermark text is painted on the pixels.
  4. You get a download and an expiring share page.

Image privacy FAQ

Does re-saving really remove location data?
Yes. GD writes a new image without copying the EXIF segment. That is the standard way to strip photo metadata.
Can I add a watermark to an image online free with no signup?
Yes. Enter text in the watermark field. For a logo file overlay, export from your editor and upload the already-branded image here to strip remaining EXIF.
Is the original upload kept?
Only the cleaned file is stored. The original temporary upload is discarded after processing.
Will screenshots include EXIF?
Most screenshots never had GPS. Cleaning still helps if you want a watermark and a short lived link.
