Canonical: https://image.recordly.cc/remove-image-metadata
Tool LLM file: https://image.recordly.cc/remove-image-metadata/llms.txt
Product: Recordly Image
Engine: metadata

## Summary

Remove image metadata online by re-encoding supported JPG, PNG and WebP files to strip normal EXIF, GPS, camera and software fields.

## User Intent

Use this tool when you want a new image export without normal embedded EXIF, GPS, camera or software metadata.

## Supported Inputs

- Formats: image/jpeg, image/png, image/webp
- Upload label: Choose images to clean
- Defaults: {"preserveOrientation":true}

## Workflow

1. Upload the image: Choose a supported image to clean.
2. Re-encode the pixels: Create a new browser-side export without copying normal embedded metadata fields.
3. Verify and download: Save the cleaned image and recheck the output when metadata privacy is important.

## Best For

- Cleaning images before public sharing.
- Removing camera and software metadata from supported exports.
- Reducing embedded location and device information before upload.

## Limits

- The tool cannot remove information that another website or cloud service stores outside the image file.
- If metadata removal is critical, inspect the exported file again before sharing.

## Visible FAQ

- Does metadata removal delete information stored by a website or cloud service? No. This tool works on metadata embedded in the image file. A separate platform may store location or account information outside the file.
