Why ExifClean

The only metadata tool that also checks for AI.

Viewer, cleaner, privacy score and AI-fingerprint detection in one place, with honest limits stated clearly.

Full metadata, explained

Every EXIF, IPTC and XMP field grouped into plain-language categories, with no tag names to decode.

Privacy score 0–100

One number tells you how much an image reveals about you, with the sensitive bits called out.

AI-origin detection

Spots C2PA, generation parameters and software fingerprints, then names the likely generator.

One-gesture cleaning

Protect privacy, remove AI traces, sign, or erase everything. No technical knowledge needed.

Batch & archive

Clean many images with one action and download them all as a single archive.

Export anywhere

Read out the full metadata to TXT, CSV or JSON for your own records.

An honest limit

We tell you what we can't see.

ExifClean analyses metadata. An invisible watermark written into the pixels themselves, like Google's SynthID, is neither detected nor removable by cleaning. We say so, plainly, wherever it matters.

The basics

What is image metadata?

Every photo carries hidden metadata: EXIF, IPTC and XMP tags written by your camera, phone or editing software. It can include your GPS location, the device's serial number, the date and time, the software used, and (for AI images) generation fingerprints like C2PA Content Credentials or Stable Diffusion parameters.

ExifClean lets you see all of it, understand what it reveals, and remove or edit it. Want a focused tool? Open the EXIF viewer, edit fields with the metadata editor, or check an image with the AI image checker.

Three steps

How it works

01

Drop an image

Or paste a URL. The file is analysed in seconds, reading every EXIF, IPTC and XMP field.

02

Review the report

Privacy exposure score, AI-origin verdict, GPS map and the full metadata, grouped in plain language.

03

Clean & download

One click to remove or edit what you choose. Your original file is never modified.

Is it safe?

Yes. Your image is sent over an encrypted connection, processed on our server in seconds, and the temporary file is deleted immediately after analysis. Nothing is ever stored, logged or shared, and your original file is never modified.

Frequently asked questions

Is ExifClean free?

Yes. Viewing metadata, detecting AI origin, and cleaning images are all free to use in your browser.

Do my images get uploaded to a server?

Yes, briefly. Your image is sent over an encrypted connection, processed in seconds, and the temporary file is deleted immediately after analysis. Nothing is stored, logged or shared, and your original file on your device is never modified.

What metadata can it remove?

EXIF, IPTC and XMP, including GPS location, camera serial numbers, software tags, thumbnails, and AI generation fingerprints such as C2PA Content Credentials and Stable Diffusion parameters.

Can it detect AI-generated images?

It detects AI fingerprints in the metadata layer: C2PA / Content Credentials, IPTC digitalSourceType, Stable Diffusion and ComfyUI parameters, and the declared software. It cannot detect an invisible pixel watermark such as SynthID.

Which formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, TIFF and GIF.

How do I remove EXIF data from a photo?

Drop the photo in the tool above and choose “Erase everything” (or the privacy preset to keep harmless fields). The dedicated Remove EXIF page does the same in one step. Your original file is never modified; you download a clean copy.

Does cleaning metadata change image quality?

No. Metadata is rewritten without recompressing the image, so the pixels are untouched; the ICC colour profile and orientation are preserved.

What's the difference between EXIF, IPTC and XMP?

EXIF is written by cameras and phones (settings, dates, GPS). IPTC is the press/agency standard (captions, credits, usage). XMP is Adobe's extensible layer that can mirror both and carries newer fields such as AI provenance. ExifClean reads and cleans all three.
