Why remove HEIC metadata?
HEIC photos from phones and modern cameras carry GPS, device, and Live Photo identifiers. Cleaning keeps HDR quality intact while hiding personal details.
Hide location from phone shots
Strip GPS coordinates, timestamps, and place data so shared HEIC files no longer reveal where they were taken.
Remove device fingerprints
Clear camera make/model, lens info, serials, and maker notes that can expose your hardware or workflow.
Deliver HDR images safely
Share 10-bit or Smart HDR HEIC exports without embedded author, software, or Live Photo identifiers.
Secure HEIC cleaning
We scrub HEIC-specific EXIF, maker notes, and item properties without re-encoding, then delete the temporary file after your download.
Upload your HEIC securely
Drag-and-drop or select a HEIC/HEIF photo. The upload is encrypted over HTTPS and not stored after processing.
Detect HEIC metadata to remove
We identify HEIC EXIF, maker notes, Live Photo identifiers, and XMP/IPTC blocks so the right cleaning steps run automatically.
Preserve HDR, depth, and quality
Cleaning targets metadata only, keeping HEVC compression, 10-bit color, depth maps, and Smart HDR details intact.
Download and auto-delete
Grab the cleaned HEIC instantly. The temporary server copy is wiped immediately after processing completes.
What HEIC metadata do we remove?
We clear identifying tags inside HEIF containers while leaving pixels, HDR tone mapping, and depth data untouched.
- EXIF GPS coordinates, altitude, and related location tags in HEIC files
- Camera make/model, lens data, device serials, and capture settings
- Timestamps, orientation, exposure, and scene metadata in EXIF and maker notes
- Apple or Android maker notes including burst or Live Photo identifiers
- XMP/IPTC author, copyright, keywords, and description fields
- Software, encoder, and export tool tags added by phones or editors
- Embedded previews or thumbnails stored alongside the HEIC image
- Item properties or user comments in the HEIF container that can expose workflow
Frequently Asked Questions
Will removing HEIC metadata change HDR or depth data?
No. Cleaning is metadata-only, so HEVC compression, 10-bit color, depth maps, and Smart HDR details stay identical to the source.
Can you remove location data from HEIC photos?
Yes. GPS coordinates and related EXIF location tags are cleared so the cleaned HEIC no longer exposes where it was captured.
Does this work with Live Photos or bursts?
Yes. We clean the HEIC image and remove Live Photo identifiers without altering the paired motion clip, burst frames, or image quality.
What HEIC metadata is removed?
We clear EXIF/XMP/IPTC fields, maker notes, camera and lens details, timestamps, software info, and optional item properties stored in the HEIF container.
