What a photo tells people about you

A picture taken on a phone usually records when it was taken, which device took it, and very often the exact coordinates of where you were standing. Post it as-is and all of that goes with it. Some sites strip it on upload; plenty do not, and a file sent by email or messaging app keeps everything.

For JPG and PNG the picture is not re-encoded at all — the metadata blocks are removed and the compressed image data is copied across untouched, so the result is pixel-for-pixel what you uploaded, only smaller. Other formats have to be rewritten, and the row says so when that happens.

The colour profile is deliberately kept. It says nothing about you, and removing it would shift the colours of the photo you were trying to clean.

Why use SlimFile for this

  • Lossless for JPG and PNG

    The metadata is cut out and the image data copied across byte for byte, so the picture is pixel-for-pixel identical — only smaller.

  • Colours stay right

    The colour profile is kept, because it says nothing about you and removing it shifts the colours of your photo.

  • Free, no sign-up

    No account, no email address, no trial that runs out.

  • No watermark

    What you download is clean — nothing added to your file.

  • Deleted within an hour

    Uploads and results are removed automatically about an hour after processing. We never look inside them.

Questions

How do I remove the location from a photo?
Add the photo here and download the cleaned copy. The GPS coordinates are removed along with the rest of the EXIF data, so the shared file no longer shows where it was taken. iPhone HEIC photos are accepted too.
Can I clean several photos at once?
Yes. Drop up to 20 at a time and download them one by one or together as a zip.
What is actually hidden in my photo?
Usually the date and time it was taken, the make and model of the camera or phone, the exposure settings, any editing software used, and very often the exact GPS coordinates of where you were standing. Some sites strip this on upload; plenty do not, and a file sent by email or messaging keeps all of it.
Does this reduce the quality of my photo?
Not for JPG or PNG. The picture is not decoded and re-saved at all — the metadata blocks are removed and the compressed image data is copied across byte for byte, so the result is pixel-for-pixel identical to what you uploaded, only smaller. Other formats have to be rewritten, and the tool says so when that happens.
Is the colour profile removed too?
No, and that is deliberate. A colour profile says nothing about you, but removing it shifts the colours of the photo you were trying to clean. Only the identifying information goes.
Does this remove a visible watermark?
No. This removes hidden data attached to the file, not anything printed into the picture itself. Anything you can see stays exactly where it is.
