What this tool removes
The cleaner removes IPTC metadata stored in JPEG APP13 blocks, along with other supported hidden metadata in JPEG, PNG, and WebP files.
Designed for sensitive photos
Reading, cleaning, verification, and export happen in your browser. Analytics events never include filenames, image bytes, coordinates, or metadata values.
Current format support
JPEG, PNG, and WebP are supported. Files with orientation metadata are visually normalized so they do not rotate after cleaning. HEIC and video are not accepted yet.
IPTC Data removal questions
What is IPTC Data?
It is hidden image metadata related to IPTC caption, byline, copyright, keyword, and newsroom metadata.
Does removing IPTC Data change the image?
The tool removes supported IPTC Data metadata blocks when possible. Images with orientation data may be normalized so they stay upright.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The selected files are read and processed locally by your browser and are not sent to a Blur Face image-processing server.
How do I know the metadata is gone?
The tool scans the generated file again. An export is marked verified only when the supported removable metadata blocks are no longer detected.
Can I remove metadata from several photos?
Yes. You can inspect and clean up to 20 supported photos in one session, then export each verified copy.
Clean the visible layer too
After removing hidden metadata, blur faces, license plates, or private text before sharing.
