🖼️ PNG Metadata Remover — Private & Instant
PNG images often carry hidden metadata inside textual chunks (tEXt, iTXt, zTXt) and, in some cases, EXIF. These fields can reveal capture time, software, author and other details you may not want to share.
PNG Metadata Remover erases those tags directly in your browser. No uploads, no tracking, and no quality loss — transparency, color and resolution remain identical.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do PNGs actually have EXIF like JPGs?
PNG doesn’t require EXIF, but some editors embed it. Most metadata in PNG sits in textual chunks (tEXt/iTXt/zTXt). This tool removes both.
Will color profiles or transparency be affected?
No. We strip only non-visual metadata. Alpha channel and color remain intact.
Can I batch-clean many PNGs?
Currently one by one. Bulk mode may be added later.
