About the WebP Metadata Remover

WebP is a modern format created by Google for the web. It is typically 25 to 35 percent smaller than an equivalent JPG and supports transparency and animation, which is why so many websites now serve it. The downside is compatibility: older versions of Photoshop, Windows Photo Viewer, many printers and lots of upload forms still cannot open WebP files.

WebP stores metadata in separate EXIF and XMP chunks. FileStripe removes them and fixes the file header, keeping the compressed image data untouched.

How to remove metadata from WebP images

  1. Add your WebP files.
  2. Metadata is removed automatically.
  3. Download the clean files or a ZIP of all of them.

Frequently asked questions

What metadata can a WebP file contain?

WebP files can contain the camera or phone model, capture date, GPS coordinates, editing software, author and copyright fields, and in some cases a small preview thumbnail of the original, unedited image.

Will the file size change?

Usually the file gets slightly smaller, because the metadata (sometimes including an embedded thumbnail) is removed.

Is the WebP Metadata Remover free?

Yes. The WebP Metadata Remover is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, no daily limits and no premium tier.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. FileStripe processes your files locally in your web browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, so the WebP Metadata Remover is safe for private photos and confidential documents and even works offline once the page has loaded.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. The WebP Metadata Remover works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone you can pick files from your photo library or files app and share the result straight to another app.
