Image Metadata Cleaner

Re-encode a local image through Canvas to create a fresh copy without the source file’s embedded EXIF metadata. A canvas re-encode is useful before posting a photo when you want to avoid carrying common embedded metadata into a new raster file. The tool keeps the image pixels and dimensions, then lets you download the clean copy. Compare the result with the original before replacing or publishing any asset. Select a supported image from your device, review the preview, and process a separate copy in your browser. Tool Fly does not upload the selected source file. Re-encoding can change compression and color profiles. It does not erase metadata from your original file, and output metadata behavior depends on the browser encoder. Keep the original until you have checked the downloaded result at its intended size and in the applications where it will be used.

How to use Image Metadata Cleaner

  1. Choose a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image from your device.
  2. Adjust the available image controls and inspect the before-and-after preview.
  3. Process the image, review the output, and download the new copy.

Image workflow and limitations

The browser decodes your image and applies image metadata cleaner using Canvas APIs. The result is exported as a new image file; your source file remains unchanged. Re-encoding can change compression and color profiles. It does not erase metadata from your original file, and output metadata behavior depends on the browser encoder.
