Remove metadata from WEBP images
WEBP files may contain EXIF or XMP metadata. ExifSafe creates a cleaned WEBP version locally in your browser.
Can WEBP files contain metadata?
WEBP images can contain EXIF and XMP metadata depending on how they were created or exported.
That metadata may come from cameras, editing tools, conversion tools or publishing workflows.
What metadata can be found in WEBP files?
WEBP metadata varies by tool and browser support, but common marker types can include:
- EXIF metadata
- XMP metadata
- Color profile information
- Software or editor information
- Creation details
How ExifSafe cleans WEBP files
ExifSafe loads the WEBP image locally in the browser, renders the visible image to a canvas and exports a new WEBP copy.
This browser re-export removes common embedded metadata without uploading the file.
Will WEBP quality change?
WEBP can be lossy or lossless depending on encoding. ExifSafe exports WEBP with high quality settings, so the visible result should look the same in most cases, but file size may change.
When to clean WEBP metadata
