Remove Metadata From GIF Images — Free, In-Browser

Strip XMP packets, comment extensions, and software fingerprints from GIF and animated GIF files.

Why scrub GIF metadata?

GIFs from screen recorders, meme generators, and CMS exports often carry XMP comment extensions with the originating tool, account, or watermark text. Memes and reaction GIFs you share publicly may attribute back to your editing software or account. SafeRestore strips all extension blocks.

Common use cases

Frequently asked questions

Will animation be preserved?

Yes. Animation frames, timing, and looping are kept exactly. Only Comment and Application extension blocks are removed.

What about Gif Brewery / ScreenToGif metadata?

Both tools embed Application Extension blocks identifying themselves — these are stripped along with any custom comments.

Does it shrink the file?

Slightly — removed metadata reduces file size by a few hundred bytes to a few KB depending on the tool.

Are my GIFs uploaded?

No. GIF parsing runs entirely in your browser.

Open Metadata Scrubber

Use SafeRestore Metadata Scrubber to handle this directly. The tool runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
