Do WebP files contain EXIF data?

They can. WebP's RIFF container supports optional EXIF and XMP chunks. Web-optimized files are often stripped, but exports and conversions frequently retain camera EXIF and GPS.

How do I remove metadata from a WebP?

Drop the .webp into the tool above and click "Remove metadata & download." ExifGrabber removes the EXIF and XMP chunks and returns a clean copy losslessly, without re-encoding the image.

What is WebP?

WebP is Google's image format for the web, supporting both lossy and lossless compression at smaller sizes than JPEG or PNG. It's now widely used across websites and exported by many editors.

A WebP file is a RIFF container that can include optional EXIF and XMP chunks alongside the image data.

What metadata WebP files carry

Web-optimized WebP images are often stripped of metadata, but files exported from photo editors or converted from JPEG can still carry full camera EXIF and GPS in the EXIF chunk, plus XMP edit data.

ExifGrabber reads the EXIF and XMP chunks and, because WebP is losslessly rewritable, lets you remove them and download a clean copy with the image untouched.
