View and Remove Photo Metadata

Every photo your phone or camera takes carries a hidden layer of data called EXIF — and most people never see it. This tool opens that layer up: drop in an image and instantly view the camera and lens, the full exposure settings, the exact date and time, the editing software, and any embedded GPS coordinates. It is a fascinating look under the hood of any photo, and an essential check before you share images publicly. Crucially, everything happens in your browser. Your photos are never uploaded, which is exactly what you want from a tool that reads potentially sensitive location and personal data. It is fast, private, and works with the JPG, HEIC, TIFF, and PNG files your devices produce.

Protect Your Privacy Before Sharing

The single most important reason to check EXIF is location. A photo taken at home, school, or work can silently embed GPS coordinates accurate to a few metres — and many websites do not strip them. This tool clearly flags when an image contains location data and lets you view it on a map, so you know exactly what you would be revealing. With one click, you can download a clean copy of the image with all metadata removed. The picture looks identical, but the camera details, timestamps, and GPS are gone. Whether you are posting to social media, selling on a marketplace, or sending a photo to someone you do not fully trust, stripping EXIF first is a simple, powerful privacy habit — and this tool makes it effortless.

Frequently Asked Questions

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in photos by cameras and phones. It can include the camera and lens model, exposure settings (aperture, shutter, ISO), the date and time the photo was taken, editing software, and — importantly for privacy — the exact GPS coordinates where the photo was shot.
Photos you share online often carry hidden location and device information. If a photo taken at your home still has GPS coordinates, anyone can read them and find where you live. Stripping EXIF before posting protects your privacy. This tool creates a clean copy with all metadata removed in one click.
The tool re-encodes the image, which discards all embedded metadata while keeping the visible picture. JPGs are re-saved at high quality (95%) and PNGs stay lossless. The image content looks the same; only the hidden data is gone.
No — and for a privacy tool that matters. Reading metadata and creating the clean copy both happen entirely in your browser. Your photos never leave your device, so even location-tagged personal images stay completely private.
You can read metadata from JPG, PNG, TIFF, and HEIC files. Note that PNG rarely contains EXIF, while JPG and HEIC from phones and cameras usually do. The clean-copy export produces a JPG or PNG.
