Why GlideConvert?

- Fast. Images convert in a fraction of a second; video uses your device’s hardware encoder.
- Free. No sign-up, no watermark. 10 images, 5 audio files or one video at a time — Pro lifts the limits and removes ads.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data?
EXIF is information your camera or phone stores inside each photo: the date and time, camera and lens model, exposure settings, and often the exact GPS location where it was taken.
Why remove metadata?
A photo shared online can reveal where you live or work through its GPS coordinates, and when you were there. Many social networks strip it, but email, messengers, forums and file-sharing usually do not.
Does removing EXIF change the image?
No. For JPG and PNG the metadata blocks are cut out of the file directly — the image data is not re-compressed, so quality is identical. Other formats (HEIC, WebP, AVIF) are re-encoded, by default to JPG.
Can I keep the date but remove the location?
Yes — choose Remove GPS location only.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. GlideConvert runs entirely in your browser: images are processed with the browser’s built-in codecs and WebAssembly, video and audio with hardware-accelerated WebCodecs (or a WebAssembly build of FFmpeg for older formats). Nothing is sent anywhere — you can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
