Remove image metadata

Rebuilds a copy from pixels to remove EXIF, GPS, XMP and other file metadata. It then verifies the output and checks for supported provenance blocks such as C2PA/JUMBF. It does not analyze invisible watermarks embedded in the pixels.

Post-process check

The original and generated copy are analyzed with ExifReader and an independent structural checker. Download is enabled only when both verifiers find no known metadata.

Original resolution

Keeps original pixel dimensions. JPEG and WebP are re-encoded.

What exactly it does

The tool decodes the image and rebuilds it from its pixels. Because it creates a new file, it does not copy the metadata blocks from the original file. This method cleans JPEG, PNG and WebP without sending the photo to a server.

AI metadata and Content Credentials

Some images generated or edited with AI tools may include provenance information inside the file, such as XMP or C2PA/JUMBF structures. By rebuilding the image from pixels, Rusadix does not copy those blocks into the new copy and the checkers attempt to verify that they are no longer present. This removes file metadata, but it does not mean an image can no longer be recognized by other systems: a watermark embedded in the pixels or other content analysis is different.

What can change

PNG uses lossless encoding. JPEG and WebP are re-encoded at high quality, so file size may change. The tool preserves pixel dimensions but does not promise byte-for-byte preservation of the original file.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded?

No. This tool processes the file using browser APIs and does not send the file outside your browser.

Which formats are supported?

Static JPEG, PNG and WebP, with a 40 MB limit per image. Animated images are rejected to avoid losing frames.

Is resolution preserved?

Yes. Pixel width and height are preserved. JPEG and WebP file size may change because they are re-encoded.
