View and remove EXIF data
Photos often carry hidden details such as the camera model, the time they were taken and the exact place. See them all, and save a clean copy before you share a picture.
Add photos to see their hidden details: JPG, HEIC, PNG, WebP or TIFF.

This photo contains its location
Anyone who gets this file can see where it was taken. Remove the metadata before you share it.
No metadata found in this file.
All tags
Keeps only the orientation tag, so photos taken sideways still appear upright.
JPG, PNG and WebP keep their image data byte for byte. HEIC, AVIF, TIFF, GIF and BMP are saved as a new JPG, which leaves all metadata out.
Files never leave your device. Everything runs in your browser.
How to use it
- Choose the photos to check with "Choose files", or drop them onto the page.
- Read the summary for each photo, and open "Show details" to see "All tags".
- Leave "Keep rotation" on so sideways photos still appear upright, then click "Remove metadata".
- Click "Download", or "Download all (ZIP)" for several files.
What it does
A clear summary
Camera, lens, date taken (with the time zone when stored), exposure time, aperture, ISO, focal length with its 35 mm equivalent, flash, pixel size, orientation, software and color profile.
Location warning
When a photo holds GPS coordinates in its EXIF or XMP data, a red warning, "This photo contains its location", appears and the file gets a badge in the list.
Every tag, ready to export
A full table groups all tags with their names and values in English, as stored in the file. Copy it as text or download it as a JSON file.
Lossless cleaning for JPG
Metadata is stripped from JPEG files while the compressed image data stays byte for byte the same, so there is no loss of quality. The color profile is kept.
PNG and WebP too
PNG files lose their EXIF, text and time stamp chunks but keep their color and pixel density information. WebP files lose their EXIF and XMP data.
A report for each file
Every cleaned file lists what was removed and what was kept, so you can confirm the result at a glance.
Good to know
EXIF is the block of information a camera or phone writes into each photo. Most of it is harmless, but GPS coordinates can reveal your home, your workplace or your children's school when you post or send a picture. Not every app or website removes this data, and a file sent as an email attachment arrives with its metadata unchanged, so it is worth checking first. The map link next to a location opens OpenStreetMap only when you click it; until then, nothing leaves your device.
For JPEG, the tool removes EXIF, XMP and IPTC data, comments, embedded thumbnails and extra hidden images, such as depth maps, stored after the main picture. "Keep rotation" keeps only the orientation tag when a photo is stored sideways. HEIC, AVIF, GIF and BMP files are saved as a new JPG without metadata, which means they are re-encoded. TIFF files can be read in every browser, but a cleaned TIFF can only be saved in a browser that can open TIFF images, which means Safari. Clean files get -no-exif added to their name.
Questions and answers
How do I see the EXIF data of a photo?
Add the photo and read the summary card for the camera, date and settings. Open "Show details" for the complete list of tags, which you can copy as text or download as JSON.
How do I remove the location from a photo?
Add the photo and click "Remove metadata". The GPS coordinates are deleted together with the other metadata, and the report under the file confirms what was removed.
Does removing metadata reduce quality?
Not for JPG, PNG and WebP: their image data is kept byte for byte. HEIC, AVIF, GIF and BMP files are saved as a new JPG, which is re-encoded.
Why did a cleaned photo appear sideways?
Some cameras store photos sideways and rely on an orientation tag to show them upright. Leave "Keep rotation" switched on, and only that tag is kept so the photo displays correctly.
Are my photos uploaded to read the data?
No. The details are read in your browser on your device. Only if you click "Open on OpenStreetMap" are the coordinates sent to that map in the link.
Can I check iPhone HEIC photos?
Yes. HEIC photos can be read, and the cleaned copy is saved as a new JPG without metadata.
