EXIF preview first
Each file shows how many EXIF fields it contains. Expand any row to see tag names and values before you strip anything.
BatchDrop Meta · Windows desktop app
See what’s embedded. Strip it in one batch.
BatchDrop Meta removes GPS coordinates, camera data, dates, author info, and EXIF/IPTC fields from images — after showing you exactly what each file contains. Images only, processed locally, with copy or overwrite output modes.
Lossless stripping
For JPG, PNG, and WebP, metadata segments are removed without re-encoding pixels. JPEG keeps JFIF and ICC color profiles intact.
Copy or overwrite
Save cleaned copies alongside originals, or overwrite in place. Removes GPS, camera, dates, author, and EXIF/IPTC fields.
From embedded data to clean images.
Drop images, review what’s inside, strip the batch. No upload, no account wall.
Drop images or browse a folder
Add JPG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, HEIC, or HEIF files. Optionally include subfolders when importing from a directory.
Review embedded metadata
Expand each file to see EXIF tag names and values. Files with no metadata are flagged clearly.
Strip and save
Choose Copy to write cleaned files separately, or Overwrite to replace originals. See how many fields were removed per file.
