Privacy Focused

The output is rebuilt from visible pixels only, which usually removes embedded metadata.

Clean Download

You get a new file ready to share without carrying old metadata forward.

How It Works

The image is redrawn on a fresh canvas and exported again, which usually removes metadata such as EXIF-style information.

How to remove metadata from images

Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP image, choose the output format and quality, then click Remove Metadata. PictLab rebuilds the image from visible pixels and creates a fresh downloadable file.

This is useful before sharing photos online, sending images to clients, publishing website assets or uploading images where you do not want old embedded file information to travel with the image.

Frequently asked questions

Does this remove EXIF data?

In most browser-based workflows, redrawing the image to a new canvas removes embedded metadata from the exported file.

Will the image look different?

The visible pixels are preserved, but output format and quality settings can affect file size and compression.

Can I keep transparency?

Yes. Keep the transparency option enabled and use PNG or WebP when transparency matters.
