Frequently asked questions
Is Remove Image Metadata free to use?
Yes. Remove Image Metadata is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does Remove Image Metadata upload your image to a server?
No. Remove Image Metadata processes your image inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a file size limit?
The practical ceiling is your device's available memory rather than a server quota. Files up to roughly 100 MB work comfortably on a typical laptop in Remove Image Metadata.
Do I need to install anything to use Remove Image Metadata?
No installation is needed. Remove Image Metadata runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use Remove Image Metadata on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The Remove Image Metadata interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your image when I close the tab?
It is discarded. Remove Image Metadata keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
