EXIF Viewer & Remover
See a photo's hidden camera and location metadata, then strip it.
Most cameras and phones quietly embed EXIF metadata into every JPEG: the make and model of the device, the exact settings used, the time it was taken, and — if location services were on — the precise GPS coordinates of where the shutter was pressed. None of that is visible in the photo itself.
This reads that metadata out by parsing the JPEG's own EXIF/TIFF structure directly, so you can see exactly what would be shared if you posted the file as-is, and produces a re-encoded copy with none of it — a canvas re-export carries no metadata at all, which is what actually removes it rather than just hiding it.
How to use it
- Choose a JPEG photo.
- Everything found is listed on the right — camera details, settings, and a GPS location if the photo is geotagged.
- Press Download without metadata to save a copy with the metadata gone.
Questions
Why does it say no metadata was found?
Either the photo never had any — some cameras, and most screenshots or edited exports, don't include it — or it has already been stripped, including by some messaging apps that remove EXIF data automatically before sending.
Does the downloaded copy look any different?
Visually no — it is the same picture, redrawn onto a canvas and re-saved. What is gone is the invisible metadata: camera details, timestamps and GPS coordinates, none of which affect how the image looks.
Should I worry about GPS data in photos I post online?
It is worth checking before posting somewhere the file's original data might be exposed — a home address embedded in a public listing photo is a genuine, common privacy leak. Note that most social platforms already strip EXIF data on upload, so the risk is mainly in files sent directly (email, messaging apps that preserve originals, or hosting a file yourself).
