Image Metadata (EXIF) Viewer & Remover

About this tool

Reads and shows the hidden metadata embedded in a photo — camera make/model, the exact date and time it was taken, and (often) the precise GPS coordinates of where it was shot — then lets you download a clean copy with all of it stripped out, before you share the photo anywhere.

Most phone cameras embed GPS location by default. Uploading a photo straight from your camera roll to a public forum, marketplace listing, or social profile can quietly reveal exactly where you were standing. This tool runs entirely in your browser — the image and its metadata are never uploaded anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Why does it say "No metadata found" on some photos?

Not every image has EXIF metadata — screenshots, images already re-saved by another app or website, and most PNGs typically have little or none. Metadata is most common in photos straight off a phone or digital camera.

How does "Remove metadata" actually work?

The image is redrawn onto a canvas element and re-exported from scratch — canvas output never carries over EXIF, GPS, or any other embedded metadata, regardless of what the original file had.

Does removing metadata reduce image quality?

For JPEG input, the image is re-encoded at high quality (95%), which is visually lossless for virtually all photos but is a fresh compression pass, not a bit-for-bit copy. For PNG, re-encoding is lossless.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No — both reading the metadata and stripping it happen entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to any server.
