Remove "Author", "Title", and "Edit History" from PDF documents before sending them to clients.

Everything you need to know about cleaning your digital footprint and securing your files.

What is EXIF Data?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard used by cameras and smartphones to store hidden information inside your image files. This includes GPS coordinates, the date and time the photo was taken, camera settings (ISO, shutter speed), and even the serial number of your device. While useful for photographers, this data is a major privacy risk when shared online.

Why use an Online EXIF Remover?

Using an online metadata stripper like ExifX is the fastest way to anonymize your files. You don't need to download heavy software like Photoshop or use complex command-line tools. ExifX runs in your browser, allowing you to:

  • Protect your location: Prevent stalkers from finding your home address via GPS tags.
  • Hide your workflow: Remove edit history and software names from client deliverables.
  • Reduce file size: Metadata can add unnecessary weight to web images.

How to Remove Location from Photos on iPhone & Android

  1. Open ExifX.com on your mobile browser.
  2. Tap "Upload from Device" and select your images.
  3. Our tool will automatically strip the GPS and location data.
  4. Download the clean file.

Supported Formats: PDF, JPG, PNG

ExifX is not just for photos. We are a comprehensive metadata cleaner. We support PDF metadata removal, which is critical for legal teams and businesses. PDFs often contain hidden "Author" fields, revision history, and software version numbers that can be exploited by hackers.
