What's the difference between Personal and Studio?

Personal ($39) is for one person — unlimited use on one active device at a time. Activate on a new device and the old one signs out. Studio ($199) is for teams and commercial client work — unlimited team members, early access to new tools, and a commercial license.

Do I need an account?

No. Use any tool free up to 5 times per day on compute-heavier tools, and unlimited on lightweight ones. No card, no account, no signup required.

Where are my files processed?

Right on your device. Files never upload to any server. Everything runs in your browser — you can verify in DevTools → Network.

What happens if I use my Personal license on a second device?

The new device activates and the old device signs out. Your license key stays the same — you just move it between devices as needed. No limit on how often you switch.

Does this work on my phone?

Yes. Every tool works on iPhone, Android, tablet, and desktop.

What if I want a refund?

30-day money-back guarantee on both tiers. No questions asked. Email sales@cipherforces.com.

Will you add more tools?

Yes. New tools ship regularly. Your license includes every tool we ever release — Studio members get early access.

About Strip Image Metadata.

Strip GPS, EXIF, and Hidden Metadata From Any Photo

Every photo you take carries hidden metadata — GPS coordinates, camera model, timestamp, exposure settings, and sometimes the software used to edit it. When you post a photo to social media, text it to someone, or upload it to a form, all of that metadata goes with it. Most people don't realize their home address travels with every photo they share.

CipherForces Metadata Stripper removes every trace of EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata by re-encoding the image on a fresh canvas. The visual content is identical; the hidden data is gone.

What Gets Removed

GPS coordinates: The exact latitude and longitude where the photo was taken.
Camera and device info: Make, model, serial number, lens, and firmware version.
Timestamps: When the photo was captured and last edited.
Editing software: Whether you used Photoshop, Lightroom, or a specific AI tool.
Copyright and author tags: Any embedded author name, artist, or rights info.

Common Use Cases

Before social posting: Strip GPS so a Reddit or Instagram post doesn't reveal where you live.
Selling on marketplaces: Remove serial numbers and location before listing on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or Craigslist.
Journalism and whistleblowing: Protect source identity by removing the device that took the photo.
Sharing kids' photos: Strip the "where" from every family snapshot before it hits a group chat.

Privacy: The stripper works by drawing your image onto a fresh canvas and re-exporting it — standard browser canvas export omits all metadata by spec. The original file and all its metadata stay on your device.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How do I remove EXIF data from a photo for free?

Add your photo to the Strip Image Metadata tool, and it removes EXIF data automatically right in your browser. Download the cleaned copy when it finishes. There is no signup, no cost, and no upload. The whole process runs on your own device, so it works even offline.

Is my photo uploaded to a server when I strip its metadata?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so your photo never leaves your device or touches a server. The metadata stripping happens locally on your computer or phone. Because nothing is uploaded, your original image and its location data stay completely private to you.

What metadata does this tool remove from my images?

It removes EXIF metadata embedded in your photo, including GPS location coordinates, camera make and model, date and time stamps, and editing history. This information is often added automatically by phones and cameras. Stripping it before you share a photo prevents others from reading those hidden details.

Why should I strip metadata before sharing a photo online?

Photos often carry hidden EXIF data like GPS coordinates and timestamps that can reveal where and when you took them. Sharing that information can expose your home address or daily routine. Removing the metadata first keeps the visible image intact while preventing strangers from extracting those private details.
