About AI Metadata Cleaner
Our Story
AI Metadata Cleaner started from a simple realization: every image you create or edit with AI tools carries hidden data that can reveal far more than you intended. From the AI model used to generate the image, to GPS coordinates, camera settings, and timestamps buried in EXIF data — your images are quietly telling a story you never agreed to share.
We built AI Metadata Cleaner to put that control back in your hands. What began as a personal project to solve a real frustration has grown into a trusted tool used by thousands of digital creators, privacy-conscious professionals, and everyday users who simply want to share their images on their own terms.
Our Mission
Our mission is straightforward: give people a fast, free, and completely private way to strip unwanted metadata from their images. We believe your creative work belongs to you, and you should never have to worry about invisible data exposing your tools, your location, or your identity when you share an image online.
Whether you are a digital artist selling prints on Etsy, a social media manager handling brand content, or someone who simply wants to remove location data from a photo before posting it — we built this tool for you.
What We Do
AI Metadata Cleaner specializes in removing AI-generated metadata and traditional EXIF data from images. Our tool handles content from all major AI image generators including DALL-E, MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, Adobe Firefly, and others. We also strip standard EXIF and IPTC metadata that can contain sensitive information such as:
- GPS coordinates and location data
- Camera make, model, and serial number
- Creation timestamps and editing history
- Software and AI model identifiers
- Embedded thumbnails and preview data
- C2PA and Content Credentials markers
Our tool supports single image processing as well as batch processing for users who need to clean multiple images at once. We support all common image formats including JPEG, PNG, and WebP.
Privacy-First Technology
What makes AI Metadata Cleaner different from other tools is our commitment to privacy at every level. All image processing happens entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to any server. They never leave your device. There is no cloud processing, no temporary storage, and no data collection of any kind.
This is not just a marketing claim — it is a fundamental architectural decision. Our application is built as a static web app served through a CDN. There is literally no server-side code that could receive or store your images. You can verify this yourself by using the tool with your internet connection turned off after the page loads.
We chose this approach because we believe a privacy tool that collects your data is a contradiction. If you are coming to us to protect your images, the least we can do is make sure we never see them.

Our Values
Transparency
We are upfront about how our tool works, what data we do and do not collect, and how we sustain the service. No hidden agendas.
Simplicity
Privacy tools should not require a technical background. We designed AI Metadata Cleaner to be as simple as drag, drop, and download.
Accessibility
Core metadata removal is free and always will be. We offer premium features for power users, but the essential tool remains available to everyone.
Security
Client-side processing is not a shortcut — it is the safest way to handle sensitive images. Your files stay on your device, period.
Built by Muntaseer Rahman
AI Metadata Cleaner was founded and built by Muntaseer Rahman, a software developer with a background in web application development and a strong interest in digital privacy. After noticing how much hidden data AI-generated images carry — and how few tools existed to deal with it properly — he set out to build a solution that was fast, private, and genuinely useful.
The project is actively maintained and regularly updated to keep up with new AI platforms, evolving metadata standards, and the growing need for digital privacy tools in an AI-driven world.
