EXIF Metadata Viewer & Remover
See what's hiding in a photo's metadata, and strip it before you share it.
Parsed and cleaned locally in your browser — the photo is never uploaded.
Most phone and camera photos carry EXIF metadata you never see in the image itself: the camera's make and model, the exact date and time it was taken, and — if location services were on — the precise GPS coordinates of where you were standing. Sharing that photo shares all of it, unless something strips it first.
This tool reads the common EXIF fields directly from the file's bytes (no libraries, nothing uploaded) and lets you download a copy with every metadata segment removed, while leaving the actual image untouched.
How to use it
- 01Drop in a JPEG, or click to choose one.
- 02Review what metadata it carries — camera details, timestamp and GPS location, if present.
- 03Download the cleaned copy before sharing the photo anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
Is the photo uploaded anywhere?
No. It's read and cleaned entirely in your browser using the file's raw bytes — it never leaves your device.
Does this work on PNG or HEIC photos?
This tool is built specifically for JPEG, the most common photo format and the one where EXIF (including GPS) is most often present by default. PNG and HEIC store metadata differently and aren't supported here yet.
Will the cleaned photo look any different?
The pixels are untouched — only the metadata segments are removed, with no recompression. The one visible risk is orientation: if the original relied on the EXIF orientation tag to display right-side-up, the cleaned copy may appear rotated.
