Photo metadata viewer & remover
See the hidden data in a photo, including GPS location, camera, serial number and dates, and download a clean copy without it. JPEG, PNG and WebP. Photos never leave your device.
Runs in your browser. Your photo is never uploaded, stored or logged.
How it works
Phones and cameras save extra data inside every photo: often the exact GPS position, the time, the device model and serial number, and the apps used to edit it. This page reads that data from JPEG, PNG and WebP files and shows it grouped by what it reveals.
The clean copy removes EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, comments and text chunks without touching the image itself. It keeps only what the picture needs to display correctly: its colour profile and, for JPEG, which way up it goes.
Questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The photo is read and cleaned by code running in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, and nothing is kept once you close the page.
Do social media sites remove location data?
Most large platforms strip EXIF when they publish a photo. Files sent by email, by messaging apps set to send the original, through cloud links, forums or online marketplaces often keep it. Removing it yourself before you share is the safe default.
Will removing metadata reduce the photo's quality?
No. The metadata blocks are cut out and the image data is copied exactly as it was, with no re-compression. The colour profile and rotation are kept, so the photo looks the same.
Why can't I open iPhone HEIC photos?
HEIC isn't supported yet. On an iPhone you can turn off location when sharing (tap Options at the top of the share sheet and switch off Location), or export the photo as JPEG and check it here.
How do investigators use photo metadata?
In OSINT and incident response, EXIF can show where and when a photo was taken, which device took it and what software edited it. It can be faked or removed, so treat it as a lead to confirm, not as proof.
