EXIF viewer & remover. See what your photos leak.

Read the hidden metadata phones and cameras bury in every JPEG — GPS coordinates, device model, timestamps — then strip it all and download a clean copy at full resolution. Nothing is uploaded; every byte stays in your browser.

Why your photos can leak your location

Phones and cameras quietly embed EXIF metadata in every JPEG — often including the exact GPS coordinates where the photo was taken, plus the device model, serial hints and timestamps. Share that photo on a forum, marketplace or chat and you may be handing strangers your home address. This tool parses that data so you can see it, then re-encodes the image through a canvas to produce a clean copy with all metadata removed, at full resolution. Free forever, single & batch — and nothing is ever uploaded.

§ 02 · what you can do

Everything the metadata is hiding.

View every EXIF tagCamera make, model, software, orientation, exposure, ISO, focal length, timestamps — decoded into a clean table.
Spot GPS coordinatesA red warning flags any photo with embedded location, showing the exact lat/long and a one-click map link.
Strip all metadataRe-encodes through a canvas to produce a clean copy — full resolution, zero EXIF, GPS or thumbnail data.
Batch processDrop many photos at once and use Strip all to download clean copies of the whole set in one go.
Works beyond JPEGPNG, WebP and GIF carry no camera/GPS EXIF, but you can still re-encode them to guarantee a clean output file.
100% privateEverything runs in your browser. No upload, no account, no file-size limit — and it keeps working offline.
§ 03 · how to use it

Four steps, no upload.

  1. Drop one or more photos onto the drop zone, or click to browse. Files never leave your device.
  2. Review the metadata table for each photo — a red warning appears if GPS coordinates are found.
  3. Click Strip metadata & download on any photo to get a clean copy at full resolution.
  4. Or use Strip metadata & download all to clean an entire batch in one click.
§ 04 · faq

Frequently asked questions.

Is the EXIF Viewer & Remover free?
Yes — completely free for everyone. No sign-up, no account and no usage limits, for single photos or batches.
Is it private? Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No upload, ever. The tool reads and re-encodes your images entirely in your browser on your own device — your photos and their metadata never leave your computer.
What metadata can it see and remove?
It reads the hidden EXIF block in JPEG photos — GPS coordinates, camera make and model, software, orientation, date taken, exposure, ISO and focal length. Stripping re-encodes the image through a canvas, so all embedded metadata is dropped, not just the tags shown.
Does stripping metadata reduce image quality?
The clean copy keeps the full pixel resolution. JPEGs are re-saved at high quality (0.92), and non-JPEG formats like PNG are re-encoded losslessly, so any change is negligible — the metadata is what's removed.
Why does my PNG or WebP show no metadata?
Camera/GPS EXIF is a JPEG (and TIFF) convention — PNG, WebP and GIF don't carry it in a form this tool reads. They'll show "no EXIF," but you can still re-encode them to guarantee a clean, metadata-free output file.
Does it work offline?
Yes — once the page has loaded, reading metadata and stripping it both work without a connection, because all the parsing and canvas re-encoding runs locally in your browser.
