Remove EXIF Data From Photos

Strip hidden GPS and camera metadata before you share.

Processed locally — nothing is uploaded

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.

Strip the hidden EXIF and GPS metadata out of a photo before you share it, so it no longer reveals where or when it was taken. The image is cleaned in your browser and never uploaded.

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 can EXIF data actually reveal?

Often far more than people expect: GPS coordinates accurate to a few metres, the exact date and time, and the specific camera or phone including its serial number. A single holiday photo can disclose a home address.

Do social platforms strip it automatically?

Most major platforms do strip EXIF on upload, but you cannot rely on it — behaviour varies by platform and changes over time, and it does nothing for photos sent by email, messaging apps or shared as files.

Does removing metadata change the image itself?

The visible pixels are unaffected. Only the metadata block is dropped, so the picture looks identical while the file gets marginally smaller.
