About MetadataMonster

What Is MetadataMonster?

MetadataMonster is a free, browser-based tool for removing hidden metadata from images and documents. Every file you create or share carries invisible embedded data: GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, author names, and timestamps written by your device or software.

MetadataMonster strips EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, and all other hidden metadata from your files directly in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server — all processing happens locally on your device using client-side JavaScript. There is nothing to install and no account required.
