Batch EXIF Editor

It edits the EXIF metadata of a batch of photos in two ways. With Clear All Metadata ticked, which is the default, it removes each JPEG's EXIF block, taking out GPS location, camera make and model, serial numbers, lens details, capture settings and timestamps. If you type a name in New Author/Artist Name, it writes that name into the Artist tag. You can use either option or both, and each edited copy downloads with edited_ added to its name.

Click the file area and select all the photos you want to edit. They appear in a list marked Pending, and the EXIF Edit Settings panel opens. Leave Clear All Metadata ticked to strip the EXIF data, and optionally type an author name. Click Process Batch. Each file changes to Processing and then Processed, and an edited copy downloads automatically as edited_ plus the original name with a .jpg extension. Your original files are not changed, so keep them as your master copies.

The tool accepts JPG and TIFF files. JPEGs are edited directly: only the metadata changes, and the image data is copied as it is. TIFF files cannot keep their tags this way, so they are converted to a JPEG at 95 percent quality, which drops their metadata. That needs a browser that can open TIFF images, which many cannot; if yours cannot, the file's status says so, and you can convert it to JPG first. Every edited file is saved as a JPEG.

Not for JPEGs. The tool removes or rewrites only the EXIF block and leaves the compressed image data untouched, so the edited file has exactly the same pixels as the original. Only TIFF files are re-encoded, as 95 percent quality JPEGs. One thing to check: the EXIF block also holds the orientation flag, so a photo that relies on it to display upright may appear sideways once metadata is cleared. Rotate such images in your editor before stripping them.

Location tags can reveal where a client lives, where you store equipment or the exact spot of a private shoot. Camera serial data can link images back to you or your gear. Stripping metadata before posting to social media, sending files to third parties or publishing on a website protects your clients and your business, and it also removes clutter that some platforms display publicly.

Yes. It is free, adds no watermark and needs no installation. Every photo is processed in your own browser and never leaves your device, which matters for a privacy tool. The first time, you confirm you are a photographer and create or log into a free Imagen account, which unlocks every tool. After that you can clean and tag as many batches as you like.
