What your photos reveal
Every photo your phone takes carries an invisible passport called EXIF. It records the camera, the exact timestamp, the exposure settings — and very often the precise GPS coordinates of where you stood. Post that image to a forum or marketplace and anyone who downloads it can read your location. This tool shows you exactly what's hidden inside, then gives you a clean copy with all of it removed.
How to use it
- Upload a photo. The metadata appears instantly, with a warning if GPS is present.
- Review what's there — camera, date, location and more.
- Download the clean copy and share that one instead.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data?
EXIF is metadata cameras and phones embed in a photo: the camera make and model, the date and time, exposure settings, and often the exact GPS coordinates where the photo was taken.
Why remove EXIF data?
Privacy. A photo shared online can reveal where you live, work or travel through its embedded GPS location, plus the device you used. Stripping the metadata removes that trail before you post.
How does removing it work?
The tool redraws your image onto a canvas and re-encodes it, which discards every metadata block — EXIF, GPS and XMP. The visible picture is unchanged; only the hidden data is gone.
Which files can I check?
EXIF metadata mainly lives in JPEG photos from cameras and phones, so the viewer reads those best. PNG and other formats can still be re-encoded to guarantee a clean copy.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The metadata is read and stripped entirely in your browser. Your photo — and its location — never leave your device.
