macOS and Windows. Your files stay on your computer.
Nothing is uploaded. No sign-up.
See and remove the location, camera and date hidden in a JPG or PNG, right in your browser. For WebP, HEIC and hundreds at once, Hangar runs on your Mac or PC.
Hangar removes the location, camera and dates from every photo at once, WebP and TIFF too. Your originals stay untouched.
What leaves your computer
None of your photos.
Inside the file
A phone photo carries the exact spot it was taken, the camera and the time, hidden in its EXIF details. This is the first photo from the recording, read before and after with exiftool.
Anyone who saves the file can read these.
The photo still shows upright, because orientation is kept by default.
The sample photos carry made-up EXIF from a fictional camera. Hangar read and cleaned them as it would yours.
The alternative
Mac and Windows both have free ways to drop a photo’s location, and they work for a few files. They vary by app, and they rarely clear everything.
How it works
JPG, PNG, WebP and TIFF. Add one photo or hundreds.
It keeps the one detail that shows turned photos upright. Everything else in the EXIF details goes.
They land in your output folder with the same names. The originals keep their details.
New to Hangar? How to run a tool, step by step
What gets removed
Phones and cameras hide these details in every photo. Hangar removes them and copies the picture exactly, so quality never changes.
Where the photo was taken.
Matters most for photos of your home, kids or clients.
The device, model and lens.
Matters for anonymous posts and shared sets.
When the photo was taken.
Matters for photos that reveal routines or travel.
Every setting, explained in the Strip metadata guide Keep orientation
Every tool is free for 3 days, with no account and no card. After that, Hangar is a one-time payment from $45, with updates for the version you buy. There is no subscription.
Not this tool. Convert them to JPEG with Convert images, which leaves the metadata out by default.
No. Captions, keywords and copyright notes added by editing apps stay in JPEG and WebP files. For a file with nothing hidden at all, use Convert images with Strip metadata on.
No. The pixels are left untouched and only the metadata is rewritten, so the image is identical apart from the data you removed.
Yes. The location and the rest of the EXIF data are removed, which is exactly what you want before sharing a photo publicly. Some editing apps also copy the location into other notes inside JPEG and WebP files, and those are not removed.
Yes. By default the orientation tag is kept so the image still displays upright, while the rest of the EXIF data is stripped.
No. Your files are processed on your computer and never sent anywhere. Hangar sends anonymous usage counts to improve the app, never file names or contents, and you can turn that off in Settings.
Yes. A license works on any mix of Mac and Windows computers. Solo covers 1 computer, Crew 3 and Fleet 10.
Who uses it
Strip the location from product photos taken at home before they go on a marketplace.
Send selects without your camera serials, software history or the location of a private shoot.
Hangar for photographersRemove where and when a photo was taken before it is published or shared.
One app, one payment
The same app converts, compresses, resizes and cleans up photos, and does the same kind of work for PDFs, video and audio. One payment covers every tool.
Save it as a chain
Set every phone photo upright, strip its details and give the set neutral names before it goes online, in one run.
How chains workThen pay once, from $45, for every tool and the updates for your version. No subscription. 30-day refund.See plans
