EXIF Viewer & Remover
See the camera, date, and GPS metadata hidden inside a photo, then download a clean copy with it stripped out, entirely inside your browser.
What is EXIF data?
Most photos from phones and cameras carry hidden EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) metadata — camera make and model, exposure settings, the date taken, and often the exact GPS coordinates of where the photo was shot. This tool reads that metadata directly in the browser and lays it out in a readable table.
Because that metadata can quietly reveal a location or device, this tool also lets you download a clean copy of the photo with all metadata removed, so it's safer to share.

Features & benefits
Why this runs entirely in your browser
EXIF data can include a precise location, so uploading a photo to a server just to read its metadata is a privacy risk in itself. This tool parses the file's raw bytes locally and re-encodes the cleaned image on an in-page canvas, so the original photo and its metadata never leave the device.
Common uses
Checking what a photo reveals before posting it publicly, confirming when and with what camera a picture was taken, or stripping GPS and device details from images before sending them to someone else.
Frequently asked questions
A few things people usually want to know before trusting the numbers.
Many phones only embed GPS location when location services were enabled for the camera app at the time the photo was taken, and some social apps strip metadata automatically on upload, so a re-downloaded photo may already be clean.
For JPEG and WEBP, the image is redrawn onto a canvas and re-encoded, which is visually lossless at high quality settings. PNG is re-encoded losslessly with no quality change at all.
Some images, especially ones already re-saved by messaging apps, social media, or screenshots, never had EXIF data embedded in the first place.
Yes, HEIC and HEIF files are supported for reading metadata, in addition to JPEG, PNG, WEBP, and TIFF.
No. All parsing and re-encoding happens locally in your browser. Nothing uploaded here is sent to a server, stored, or shared.
