About the EXIF Viewer & Remover
Every photo your phone or camera takes carries a hidden layer of EXIF metadata — the camera make and model, the exact date and time, exposure settings, and often the GPS coordinates of where the picture was taken. This tool shows you exactly what is embedded in a JPEG, then lets you download a clean copy with all of it removed.
That matters for privacy: when you share a photo online, its metadata can quietly reveal your home address or daily routine. Stripping EXIF before posting is a simple, sensible habit. The remover works by redrawing the image onto a fresh canvas and exporting it — the pixels are preserved, but the metadata is gone.
Everything runs locally in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded. Metadata reading is designed for JPEG files (the format cameras use); other formats will still show basic details like dimensions and size. To turn an image into an embeddable string instead, see image to Base64, or lift colours from it with the image colour picker.
Frequently asked questions
Does removing EXIF change how my photo looks?
No. The image is redrawn at full resolution, so the picture is visually the same — only the hidden metadata is dropped.
Which formats can it read metadata from?
EXIF reading targets JPEG photos, which is what cameras and phones produce. Other formats show basic file details only.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Both viewing and cleaning happen entirely in your browser, so the image never leaves your device.
