Why remove GIF metadata?
GIFs can carry comments, XMP, and creator identifiers that reveal where a meme, sticker, or banner came from. Cleaning drops that data while keeping animation intact.
Share memes without traces
Remove hidden captions, URLs, or creator tags before posting GIFs publicly.
Publish brand assets cleanly
Strip editor and software fingerprints from marketing banners or stickers while keeping timing and palette identical.
Protect creator privacy
Delete timestamps and source identifiers so reposted or client GIFs do not leak original authorship details.
Secure GIF cleaning
We target GIF-specific metadata without altering animation frames, then delete the temporary file after your download.
Upload your GIF
Select a static or animated GIF. Transfers are encrypted, and files are not stored once processing is done.
Strip GIF metadata safely
We remove comment and plain-text extensions, application tags, and XMP blocks while preserving frames and palette.
Keep frames and timing intact
Cleaning is metadata-only, so animation order, delay values, and loop counts remain unchanged.
Download and purge
Download the cleaned GIF immediately; the temporary server copy is purged right after processing.
What GIF metadata do we remove?
We delete metadata blocks that can expose creator, software, or source information while keeping GIF frames and animation timing intact.
- Comment extensions containing captions, notes, or embedded URLs
- XMP packets stored inside GIF application blocks
- Plain-text extensions and labeled comments added by editors or generators
- Application identifiers, creator tags, and software notes
- Optional timestamps or creation info saved in metadata blocks
- Custom key/value pairs or user data fields that reveal workflow details
Frequently Asked Questions
Will cleaning GIFs change animation speed or loops?
No. Metadata-only removal keeps frames, timing, palette, and loop counts the same while stripping comments and tags.
What metadata do GIF files store?
GIFs can include comment blocks, plain-text extensions, XMP packets saved as application data, and creator or software tags. Those are cleared during processing.
Can you remove creator names or source URLs from GIFs?
Yes. We delete creator, software, and application identifiers along with embedded URLs or captions stored in GIF metadata blocks.
Does cleaning affect quality or file size?
Quality stays identical because frames and palette are untouched. File size may shrink slightly after removing comments or XMP data.
