What is EXIF metadata?

When a phone or camera takes a photo it embeds hidden EXIF metadata — the camera model, exposure settings, the date and time, and often the exact GPS location where the picture was taken. This data travels with the file when you share it. This free EXIF viewer and remover lets you read that information and strip it out before you post or send a photo, all in your browser.

  1. Select a photo to instantly see its metadata, including any GPS coordinates.
  2. Review the camera, date and location details.
  3. Click Remove metadata & download to save a clean copy with the EXIF stripped.

Why remove metadata?

Photos posted online can reveal where you live, work or travel through embedded GPS tags. Removing metadata protects your privacy, reduces file size slightly, and prevents others from seeing your camera details. The cleaned image looks identical — only the hidden data is gone.

Frequently asked questions

Which photos contain GPS data?

Mainly JPGs taken on a phone or camera with location services on. Screenshots and many social-media downloads already have it removed.

Does removing metadata change how the photo looks?

No. Only the hidden information is removed; the visible image is unchanged (JPG re-saving applies light compression, PNG is lossless).

Are my images uploaded?

No. Reading and cleaning happen entirely in your browser, so your photos stay on your device.
