About Strip

Strip is a free EXIF and GPS remover that runs in your browser. It exists because a privacy tool that asks you to upload the photo is asking you to share the leak in order to hide the leak. We got tired of that pattern: cloud forms, signup walls in front of “download without GPS,” and watermarks on a job that should be boring infrastructure.

What this product is for

You have a JPEG (or PNG/WebP) that still contains a GPS IFD, a camera body tag, or an editor’s XMP packet. You want a copy you can post without that sidecar. Strip shows the tags, then Fast-scrubs JPEG segments or Deep-rewrites the container through Canvas. Batch ZIP is local. There is no account because there is nothing to store.

Strip is not a compressor, not a format converter, not a HEIC decoder, and not a redaction brush. Those are different jobs. If you need size or WebP, do that after you have a GPS-empty file you have re-inspected.

Who operates it

Strip is made by Ultimatum, a brand-marketing studio that also ships other local-first utilities. The studio note in the footer is not an ad network unit. For this product, write ultaultimatum@gmail.com — and do not attach photos.

Other Ultimatum local tools (compress, convert, HEIC, PDF, invoices) live on their own sites. This site is only the metadata cleaner. We mention the family once so you do not mistake Strip for a one-click “do everything to my photo” portal.

What we refuse to claim

No forensic wipe. No guarantee that every MakerNote is gone. No promise that a picture of your house stops being a picture of your house. Success is: inspect no longer shows GPS, and you downloaded the file you verified. Limits and modes are documented in the how-to and FAQ.

Why the site looks like a tool plus articles

A dropzone alone does not tell a reviewer — or a new user — what GPS tags are, when Fast is enough, or why HEIC is rejected. The guides exist so the page is still useful if you never click an ad. Navigation in the header and footer is the same on every public URL: tool, how-to, FAQ, use cases, contact, legal.
