Image tools

Keep the picture. Drop the trail.

Photos often carry GPS coordinates, device details, and timestamps. Re-encode them locally to create fresh copies with that metadata removed before you post or send them.

No upload. No account. Files stay on your device. The processing happens in this browser tab—an unusual arrangement in a category full of upload forms.

Output format

Keeping the original format re-encodes the image, which drops the metadata. PNG stays lossless.

90%

Applies to JPG and WebP output. PNG ignores this setting.

Re-encoding creates fresh pixels with no EXIF, GPS, XMP, or IPTC blocks. Scene detail that is already part of the picture, such as a visible address, will remain.

Strip the metadata

Add a photo to see what metadata it carries.

Your image is decoded and re-encoded by this browser. There is no upload step, no server-side queue, and no stored copy. How local processing works.

The short version

How it works.

No installer, no sign-up, and no second app to open. The work happens in the browser you already have, using the file already on your device.

  1. Add your photos

    Choose one or several JPG, PNG, or WebP files. Lovely Tools reads the embedded metadata locally so you can see what is there.

  2. Choose the output

    Keep each image’s format or choose JPG, PNG, or WebP. Re-encoding draws the pixels into a fresh file with no EXIF block.

  3. Download the clean copies

    Save individual files or a ZIP for a batch. Use the cleaned copies for sharing; keep the originals if you need location or camera data.

Fine print, without the runaround

Good to know.

Every tool has a boundary. These are the ones worth knowing before you start, so the result is not a surprise.

Re-encoding is what removes metadata

Simply renaming or re-saving a file does not strip EXIF. Lovely Tools creates a new image from the pixels, which leaves the metadata behind.

Some metadata can live in pixels

EXIF, GPS, and most camera tags are removed. A visible watermark or information printed into the image itself is part of the picture and will remain.

Questions

Asked and answered.

What metadata is removed?

EXIF fields such as camera model, exposure settings, capture time, and GPS coordinates are dropped. XMP and IPTC blocks are also not carried into the new file.

Does this change how the photo looks?

The pixels are copied at full resolution, so appearance is preserved. Saving as JPG re-encodes the image slightly; choose PNG for a lossless copy if needed.

Are the photos uploaded?

No. Metadata is read and the new image is encoded inside your browser. The files never leave your device.
