EXIF Viewer & Metadata Remover

Inspect the EXIF and other metadata stored inside JPG and PNG images, including camera model, exposure settings, dates and GPS coordinates. Then download a clean copy with all of it stripped out, so you can share photos without revealing personal details. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Your image never leaves your device. Reading and removing metadata both happen entirely in your browser.

How to use EXIF Viewer & Metadata Remover

  1. Drop a JPG or PNG image into the box, or click to browse.
  2. Review the metadata table — camera, dates, settings and any GPS location.
  3. Press “Download clean copy” to get the same photo with all metadata removed.
  4. Share or upload the clean copy instead of the original.

About this tool

Every photo taken with a phone or camera carries hidden information called metadata: the device model, the exact time, editing history, and very often the GPS coordinates of where the picture was taken. When you upload the original file, all of that travels with it.

This tool shows you exactly what is stored, then rebuilds the file keeping only the image pixels and dropping EXIF, XMP, IPTC and embedded text chunks. The picture itself is not re-compressed, so quality stays identical.

Frequently asked questions

What metadata can be inside a photo?
Typically the camera or phone model, exposure settings, the date and time, software used for editing, thumbnails, and often GPS coordinates. Screenshots and saved web images may also carry color profiles or text notes.
Does removing metadata change the image quality?
No. The pixel data is copied untouched. Only the side-information blocks are dropped, so the photo looks exactly the same.
Is GPS location really removed?
Yes. GPS coordinates are stored in the EXIF block, which is removed entirely. The clean copy contains no location information.
Which formats are supported?
JPG and PNG files can be inspected and cleaned. Other formats can be inspected, but metadata removal currently supports JPG and PNG.
Do I need to upload my photo?
No. Everything is processed in your browser using local JavaScript. The file is never transmitted anywhere.
