ExifTool alternative for a web image
ExifTool alternative for a JPEG, PNG, or WebP: this page strips EXIF, GPS, and C2PA in the browser, then re-scans the download. Nothing is installed. Phil Harvey’s command-line ExifTool still fits a folder, a write, or a format this page does not open. A pixel watermark stays in the picture.

What the ExifTool page lists
| ExifTool | This tool | |
|---|---|---|
| Source | exiftool.org | This page |
| What it is | Platform-independent Perl library plus a command-line application. The download on that page is version 13.59 (May 27, 2026), plus a Windows executable and a macOS package. | A browser page. No installer. |
| Metadata | Reads, writes, and edits metadata in a wide variety of files. The read list on that page includes EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, and C2PA JUMBF. | Still images: JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, BMP. Strips detected metadata, then scans the cleaned bytes. Does not write tags back. |
When ExifTool is the better choice
- You need to write or edit a tag, not only remove a set of them.
- You want a terminal command over a folder.
- The file is a format this page does not open.
What ExifTool does to C2PA files, rotation, and colour
We ran exiftool -all= on C2PA-signed JPEG, PNG, and WebP files and on a rotated JPEG, and wrote down
what it removed and what it also took. The results and the safer command are on
ExifTool remove all metadata.
Looking for the website named exif.tools, not Phil Harvey’s command-line ExifTool? That comparison is the exif.tools alternative. You can also remove EXIF without a desktop tool. Desktop installers are covered on the ExifCleaner alternative.
Questions
Is this a full ExifTool alternative?
For a JPEG, PNG, or WebP you want stripped in the browser, yes. ExifTool is still the tool when you need to write a tag, run a folder from a terminal, or open a format this page does not.
Is the file uploaded?
No. The image is read and cleaned in the browser, then the cleaned bytes are scanned again.
Does it remove SynthID?
No. SynthID is a watermark in the pixels. This page removes metadata beside the picture.
Can it write or edit a tag the way ExifTool can?
No. This page removes detected metadata. It does not write a new value into a field.
