Remove EXIF
The photo without its metadata: no GPS, no camera, no date, no hidden preview.

How to remove EXIF
- Drop the photos.
- Nothing to choose.
- Press Remove and download the clean copies.
What happens to your file
The pixels are decoded, the camera’s orientation applied, and the picture re-encoded with no metadata at all: EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, the colour profile and the embedded preview are gone. PNG and WebP stay PNG and WebP; JPG, HEIC and TIFF come back as JPG.
Without its colour profile a wide-gamut photo displays in standard colour — the price of a file that carries nothing but pixels.
Questions
Does my phone really put my location in photos?
By default, yes — latitude and longitude to a few metres, plus the exact time and the phone model. Anyone who gets the file can read it; this removes it.
Why did my HEIC come back as JPG?
The clean copy is re-encoded, and JPG is what every site and app accepts. Convert with HEIC to JPG first if you want to choose the quality.
Do it once, not on every form
A form that wants a square JPEG under 240 KB says so on the page. The Fylane extension reads that, fits your photo to it, and puts it in the field — without you working out what 240 KB looks like.
And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.
Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.
