Remove Photo Metadata Without Uploading

How WipePic works on your device

1. You choose photos. Your browser opens them from your device, and they stay in the memory of the page.
2. A Web Worker in your browser reads each file and finds the hidden data: location, camera details, dates, editing history, AI labels and more.
3. The worker builds a new file without the private data. It copies the image data as it is, so the pixels do not change.
4. The worker reads the new file again, and WipePic saves it only if no removable metadata is left.
5. You download the cleaned file, or one ZIP file for several photos.

Read the architecture page for the details.

How to check it yourself

You do not need to trust a claim. Test it:

1. Open WipePic in Chrome, Edge or Firefox and press F12.
2. Select the Network tab and clear the list.
3. Clean a photo and download it.
4. Look at the list. You may see Google Analytics requests, which the site uses for visit statistics. No request carries your photo.

You can also try this: let the page load fully, turn off your connection and then try to clean a photo. Cleaning is done in your browser, but we have not promised an offline mode, so treat this as a test and not as a feature. We ran the Network test for you, and the results are in the Zero-Storage Audit. The guide how to check that a metadata remover does not upload works for any tool, not only ours.

What leaves your device

• Photos: nothing. They are not uploaded.
• File names and metadata: nothing.
• Visit statistics: the site uses Google Analytics. These requests do not include your photos.

The site also sends a content security policy that lets the page connect only to the WipePic site and to Google Analytics and Tag Manager hosts.

Why this matters for photos

The hidden data in a photo can hold your exact location and the model of your phone. An upload-based tool needs you to trust its server with that data. A tool that runs in your browser does not need your trust in the same way, because the file never leaves your device.

What WipePic keeps and removes

It removes location (GPS), camera and phone model and serial numbers, date and time taken, author and copyright, editing apps and history, AI labels, Content Credentials (C2PA), text notes, embedded thumbnails and Motion Photo video. It keeps the orientation, the color profile, transparency, animation and the HDR gain map. It cannot remove pixel watermarks, visible content or faces.
