MetaPurge
Image metadata cleaner

Hidden metadata in your images, gone in one click.

Photos can carry GPS coordinates, device info, and C2PA Content Credentials that platforms like LinkedIn use to flag images. MetaPurge exposes what's embedded, then rebuilds a clean file before you share.

What we strip

  • GPS & location
  • Device & camera info
  • C2PA / Content Credentials
  • EXIF & embedded tags

Upload in the cleaner — detected metadata appears in the results panel after scanning. Processed in memory; images are not stored.

Are you a LinkedIn user?

See a small "CR" on your image? That's Content Credentials metadata — clean the file before you post and it won't show.

When should you remove metadata?

Every photo from your phone or camera can carry invisible tags — location, device info, editing history, and platform labels. You usually don't see them until something shows up after you post. If any of these sound familiar, scan first, then clean before you share.

Before posting on social

LinkedIn, Instagram, X — especially if a CR badge or “AI” label showed up and you didn't expect it.

When sharing publicly

Forum posts, blogs, portfolios — anywhere you don't want GPS coordinates or device info attached.

Selling or listing online

Marketplace photos from your phone can reveal where the picture was taken. Clean before you upload.

Sending to clients or employers

Strip location and personal device details from work images before you hand them over.

Privacy-sensitive sharing

DMs, community groups, dating apps — anywhere strangers might download or inspect your files.

Before a batch upload session

Pro users can clean a whole folder at once — useful before a posting spree or product launch.

When you might skip it: keep metadata in your original archive copies if you need date, location, or camera settings for your own records — or professional proof-of-authenticity. Clean copies for sharing; keep masters at home.
