What's hiding in your photos?
Every time you take a photo, your device embeds invisible data into the file. This can include your exact GPS location, the device you used, the apps that edited it, timestamps, and more. Most people never know it's there.
When you post online, that data travels with the file. FileGhost strips it out before you share — so what you post is just the image, nothing else.

Honest about what we can't do
Metadata removal helps file-level privacy. We can't control how platforms classify or label your content.
FAQ
Will this stop TikTok or Instagram from labeling my content as AI?
No — and we'll be direct about that. Platforms use many signals beyond file metadata to classify content. FileGhost removes hidden metadata from your image files, which is one layer of that. We make no guarantees about how any platform will label, rank, or process your images.
What exactly gets removed from my files?
We remove EXIF data such as camera, device, and GPS details, plus XMP and IPTC metadata, software and editor tags, editing history, embedded notes, and C2PA/AI provenance markers where technically supported.
Is my original file kept or replaced?
Your original file is never modified. We create a clean copy, which you download. Your original stays on your device.
What file types are supported?
JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WEBP. File size limits apply to keep processing fast.
Are my photos safe? Do you store them?
Files are processed privately on our server and deleted after processing. We don't store images, share them, or use them for training.
Do I need an account to try it?
No. Your first 5 cleans are free and require no account. You only need to sign up when you want to clean more.
