JPEG Metadata Remover
JPEG files store metadata in APP segments between the header and the compressed image data. NoMoreAI removes EXIF (APP1), XMP (APP1), IPTC (APP13), comments (COM) and C2PA (APP11) with zero recompression.
How JPEG metadata works
The JPEG format packs metadata into marker segments. EXIF and XMP share the APP1 segment, Photoshop/IPTC uses APP13, and C2PA manifests use APP11.
Quality preserved
Because the compressed pixel data is copied byte-for-byte, cleaning never reduces JPEG quality. No recompression, no artifacts.
Software tags
Editors and AI tools often write their name into EXIF Software or XMP CreatorTool fields. These are removed along with the rest of the metadata.
Clean JPGs in bulk
Use bulk mode for galleries and asset packs — analyze several JPGs, clean them all, download one ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
How is metadata stored in a JPEG?
In marker segments between the file header and the compressed image data: EXIF and XMP in APP1, IPTC/Photoshop in APP13, C2PA in APP11, and free-text comments in COM segments.
Is JPEG cleaning really lossless?
Yes — metadata segments are removed from the container without re-encoding the image data, so quality is unchanged.
Does it remove EXIF and XMP together?
Yes. Both are removed, along with IPTC, comments and C2PA.
What about orientation?
If the file uses EXIF orientation, pixels are rotated to standard orientation before the metadata is stripped, so it displays correctly everywhere.
Are color profiles kept?
Yes. ICC color profiles (APP2) and JFIF/Adobe markers are preserved so colors render correctly.
Can I clean a whole gallery at once?
Yes — bulk mode cleans multiple JPGs in parallel and returns a ZIP.
Which JPEG variants are supported?
Standard baseline and progressive JPEG/JPG files.
Is it free and private?
Free, no account, and processed entirely in your browser — files are never uploaded.
