Free EXIF Viewer and Photo Metadata Remover — Protect Your Privacy
Every photo from a phone or camera can carry hidden data called EXIF: the exact GPS location where it was taken, the date and time, the camera or phone model, lens, exposure settings, software and sometimes the camera's serial number or the owner's name. When you share a photo online or by email, that information can travel with it.
Drop a photo here to see everything it reveals, with a clear warning and a map link if GPS coordinates are present. Then remove it: the lossless option deletes the metadata segments from a JPEG without re-compressing, so the pixels are identical, and the re-encode option draws a clean copy (also fixing rotation) for JPEG, PNG or WebP. Everything happens in your browser — your photo is never uploaded.

Tips for the best results
- Strip metadata before posting photos taken at home, school or work.
- Most social networks remove EXIF on upload, but email, messaging as “file”, cloud links and marketplaces often do not.
- Turn off location tagging in your camera app if you never use it.
- Use the re-encode option if a cleaned photo shows the wrong way up.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming a screenshot or a re-saved file contains no metadata — check.
- Sending original files through email or cloud links.
- Forgetting that other hints in the picture (signs, landmarks) can also reveal a location.

Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data?
Metadata embedded in image files by cameras and phones, recording how, when and often where a photo was taken.
Can a photo really show my home address?
If location tagging was on, the GPS coordinates are accurate to a few metres. Anyone with the file can look them up on a map.
Does removing metadata change my photo?
The lossless option removes only the metadata segments; the image data is byte-for-byte unchanged. Re-encoding recompresses it at high quality.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. They are read and cleaned in your browser.
Which formats can I read?
Full metadata reading works for JPEG. PNG and WebP images can still be cleaned with the re-encode button.
Why is the cleaned photo rotated?
The rotation was stored in EXIF. Use Remove & re-encode, which applies the rotation to the pixels.
