About EXIF Viewer & Remover

GPS coordinates are the field to check first, since a phone photo can carry the exact spot it was taken. Some platforms strip metadata on upload and others preserve it, so removing it yourself is the only approach that behaves the same everywhere.

Inspect the hidden EXIF metadata inside a photo — camera model, capture date, exposure settings and even GPS coordinates — then download a clean copy with all of it removed. Stripping metadata protects your privacy before you share images online.

Photos taken on a phone routinely embed the exact spot they were shot, along with the device model and the capture time. Stripping that before sharing is the difference between posting a picture and publishing where you live.

Frequently asked questions

What is EXIF data?

EXIF is metadata cameras embed in photos, including the device, date, exposure settings and sometimes GPS coordinates of where the picture was taken. EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data includes technical details like camera model, ISO, shutter speed, f-stop and focal length — information that helps photographers review their settings and improve technique. Many cameras and phones also embed GPS data showing the exact coordinates where a photo was taken, and this embedded location data can be a privacy risk if the photo is shared. EXIF data is invisible to viewers but readable by image management software and reverse-geocoding tools that map coordinates back to specific locations.

Why remove EXIF before sharing?

Embedded GPS and device details can reveal where you live or travel. Stripping EXIF removes that information so a shared photo carries only the image. Photos from your home, office, or vacation destinations often contain GPS coordinates pinpointing the exact location, which is risky if you post photos publicly without realizing it. Removing EXIF also hides your camera model and settings, which some privacy-conscious photographers prefer. This tool strips all metadata before you share, ensuring you don't accidentally leak location history or device information through photo sharing.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser using standard web APIs — your text, files and inputs are never uploaded to a server, so the tool works even offline once the page has loaded.
