View a photo’s EXIF metadata and download a copy with all of it stripped.
Read and cleaned locally — your photo is never uploaded.
How do you remove EXIF metadata from a photo?
The tool reads a JPEG's EXIF (APP1) block to list the camera, date and GPS tags, then rebuilds the file without the EXIF, XMP, IPTC and comment segments, leaving the image itself untouched. A photo showing "Apple iPhone, 12 Jun 2026, 51.5074, -0.1278" downloads as a clean copy with no camera, date or location data. It runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Understanding your result
GPS coordinates in a photo can reveal your home or whereabouts. Removing metadata keeps the picture identical while deleting that hidden information.
Formula and method
The tool reads the JPEG’s EXIF (APP1) block to list the camera, date and GPS tags, then rebuilds the file without the EXIF, XMP, IPTC and comment segments while leaving the image itself untouched.
Assumptions and limitations
Reading detailed metadata works on JPEG photos. Other formats can still be opened, but may show no EXIF block to remove.
Worked example
A phone photo showing “Apple iPhone, 12 Jun 2026, 51.5074, -0.1278” downloads as a clean copy with no camera, date or location data.
