EXIF Viewer & Remover
ImageSee the hidden metadata in a photo — GPS location, camera, date — and download a clean copy.
Every photo your phone takes carries hidden metadata: the exact GPS coordinates of where you stood, the device you used, and the moment you pressed the shutter. EXIF Viewer & Remover shows you everything embedded in a picture — and gives you a clean copy with all of it stripped out — without the photo ever leaving your device. Unlike online EXIF removers that make you upload the very image you're trying to protect, everything here runs locally in your browser. Check a photo before you post it, share the clean copy, and keep your location to yourself.

How to use EXIF Viewer & Remover
- 1Load the photo
Drop in a JPG, PNG, WebP or TIFF and its hidden metadata is read straight away.
- 2See what's hidden in it
GPS coordinates, camera and lens, timestamps and settings are listed — often more than people expect to be sharing.

Save a version rebuilt from the pixels alone, so every metadata block is gone while the picture looks identical.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data and why should I remove it?
EXIF is metadata your camera embeds in every photo: GPS coordinates, device model, timestamps and camera settings. Shared photos can reveal your home address or daily routine. Removing EXIF before posting keeps that information private.
Does removing EXIF data reduce image quality?
Barely. The clean copy is re-encoded, which for JPEG means a very slight, visually invisible loss (PNG stays lossless). Dimensions and appearance are unchanged — only the hidden metadata is gone.
Is the GPS location really gone from the clean copy?
Yes. Re-encoding through a canvas rebuilds the file from pixels alone, so every metadata block — EXIF, GPS, XMP, thumbnails — is dropped. You can verify by loading the clean copy back into this tool: it will show no metadata.
Is it safe to check a private photo here?
Yes — that's the point of this tool. Reading and cleaning both happen locally in your browser; the photo is never uploaded, unlike most online EXIF tools.
