View & Remove Image Metadata (EXIF & GPS)
Photos carry hidden data — the exact GPS spot they were taken, the camera and lens, exposure settings, and timestamps. This tool shows all of it (with a map link for the location), then removes it — entirely in your browser, so nothing is ever uploaded.
Drop a JPG or PNG and the tool reads its full hidden metadata — decoded GPS coordinates with a map link, camera make/model, lens, shutter/aperture/ISO/focal length, dimensions, timestamps, software and copyright — then removes all of it. JPEG and PNG are cleaned losslessly (pixels and color profile untouched); the whole process runs in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded.

What metadata is hiding in your photos
Most cameras and phones embed EXIF data in every shot: the GPS coordinates of where it was taken, the camera or phone model, the date and time, and sometimes the editing software. Photos can also carry XMP and IPTC blocks with author and copyright details.
That's useful for organising your own library, but risky when you share a photo publicly — the GPS tag alone can reveal your home address. This tool surfaces what's there and removes it before you post.
Lossless removal that keeps your image sharp
For JPEG and PNG the metadata is stripped losslessly: only the EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and comment segments are removed, while the image data and color profile are copied through untouched. Your photo looks identical — it just no longer carries the hidden data.
Because everything happens in your browser, the image is never uploaded to a server. Most 'online' metadata removers send your originals to their servers; here the file never leaves your device.
When you should strip metadata
Before posting photos to social media, marketplaces, forums, or dating profiles; before emailing images to people you don't fully trust; and before publishing pictures of your home, workplace, or children.
It's also good practice for journalists, activists, and anyone who needs to share an image without revealing where or when it was captured.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Every conversion runs locally in your browser using your device's own processor. Your images never leave your computer or phone, and nothing is stored on our servers.
Does removing metadata change my photo's quality?
No. For JPEG and PNG the removal is lossless — only the hidden data segments are deleted, and the actual image pixels and color profile are left exactly as they were.
What exactly is removed?
EXIF (including GPS location, camera make/model, date taken, and settings), XMP and IPTC blocks, and embedded comments. The visible image is untouched.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Reading and cleaning happen entirely in your browser using JavaScript — the image is never sent to any server.
Is it free, and are there limits?
It's completely free with no account required. Because processing happens on your device, there's no per-file upload limit — the practical ceiling is your device's available memory. You can batch many files and download them as a single ZIP.
