What it is
Upload a photo and view all the EXIF metadata it carries: camera model, lens, capture date and time, settings (ISO, aperture, shutter speed) and — most importantly — the GPS location, often hidden in smartphone photos. With one click you remove all the metadata and download a clean image, in batch, without your photos ever leaving your device.
- Full read of EXIF/IPTC/XMP tags with embedded thumbnail
- Sensitive data (GPS, serial number) highlighted in red
- Lossless removal for JPEG (no quality loss) and batch with ZIP
How it works
Upload your images
Drag one or more photos into the upload area or import them from your Workspace. Metadata is read instantly.
Inspect the metadata
Select an image to see all its tags. Sensitive data like the GPS location is highlighted.
Remove and download
Click "Remove metadata" to get clean images, to download individually or as a single ZIP.
Features
Read + remove locally
A privacy tool that — unlike many competitors — doesn't upload your photos: everything happens in the browser.
Lossless JPEG strip
JPEG metadata is removed without re-compressing the image: no quality loss.
Sensitive data highlighted
GPS location and camera serial number are flagged in red, so you know what you're sharing.
Batch with ZIP
Clean multiple images at once and download them all in a single ZIP archive.
FAQ
No. Reading and removing metadata happen entirely in your browser. Images never leave your device — ironic for many "privacy" EXIF tools that actually upload them.
Not for JPEGs: we use a lossless removal that strips only the metadata segments without re-compressing the pixels. For PNG and WebP the image is re-saved without the metadata.
Smartphone photos often contain the exact coordinates where they were taken. Sharing them online can reveal your home or movements: stripping EXIF protects your privacy.
