About this tool
Remove EXIF, GPS, author and revision data from images and documents in bulk.
The Batch Metadata Scrubber strips EXIF, GPS and camera metadata from a photo by decoding it and re-encoding the raw pixels through an HTML canvas, which carries no metadata block at all. It is for anyone about to post or send a photo who does not want the file to also reveal where it was taken, on what device, and when. The tool reports the decoded width, height and original byte size so you can confirm the picture itself came through unchanged.
Open Batch Metadata Scrubber on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Upload or drag in the file you want to work with.
Adjust the settings and preview the result.
Download the finished file to your device.
The pixels are redrawn into a fresh canvas, so there is no metadata block left to miss a field in.
The report shows decoded dimensions and the original file size next to the cleaned output.
Decode, redraw and encode all happen in the tab; the download comes from memory, not a server round trip.
Everything outside the pixel data — EXIF, GPS coordinates, camera make and model, timestamps, orientation tags and editing-software fields. Canvas holds only RGBA pixel values, so re-encoding from it cannot carry any of those blocks forward.
A PNG. The re-encode always outputs PNG, so a photo that arrived as a JPEG will come back larger in bytes but without a second round of lossy compression.
You can select multiple files, but each run scrubs the first selected image. Re-run per file rather than expecting a single zipped output.
The pixels are copied unchanged, so colour and detail are preserved. The one thing worth checking is rotation: a photo that depended on an EXIF orientation flag no longer has that flag afterwards, so confirm the result is upright before you send it and rotate the source first if it is not.
