Why this tool is useful
Create a byte-preserving JPEG copy before sharing a phone or camera photo when embedded location, editing history and comments should not travel with it.

Private JPEG Location Metadata Remover
Remove EXIF, XMP, IPTC and comment segments that can disclose a JPEG photo's location, without uploading or re-encoding its image bytes.
Ready. Your working data stays in this browser.
Files and capture streams stay on this device. Processing uses browser APIs only; nothing is uploaded to YTSave, the media API or a proxy.
How it works
The browser validates the JPEG marker structure, removes APP1 EXIF/XMP, APP13 IPTC and COM segments, and joins all remaining bytes without decoding the pixels.
Practical example
Choose a JPEG captured on a phone, review the number of removed metadata segments and download a cleaned copy whose compressed image stream is unchanged.
Validation
The calculation is deterministic and explains validation errors instead of silently changing invalid input.
Privacy boundary
Input and output remain in this tab. Copy and download happen through browser APIs without a server upload.
Result passport
Every run reports its tool mode, timestamp and input/output size so transformed data can be audited.
