Image EXIF Viewer & Remover — Free Online Tool
Every photo your phone or camera takes carries hidden EXIF metadata — the exact GPS coordinates where it was shot, the date and time, the camera and lens model, and dozens of technical settings. The Image EXIF Viewer reads all of it instantly in your browser and lays it out in clean, grouped sections with a quick-glance highlights panel. When you are ready to share, download a clean copy with all metadata stripped. Nothing is ever uploaded — every image is processed locally on your device.
How to Use
Drag & drop a photo, click to browse, or paste from the clipboard with Ctrl+V. JPEG, PNG, WEBP, TIFF, and HEIC are all supported.
Instantly see the camera, lens, dimensions, date taken, and exposure settings (aperture, shutter, ISO, focal length) in a friendly summary panel — no decoding required.
Browse the full metadata grouped into Camera, Settings, GPS, Date & Time, and Image sections. Search to jump to any tag, copy a single value, or copy the whole record as JSON.
Click "Download (EXIF Removed)" to save a re-encoded copy in the original format with all metadata — including GPS — stripped. Your original file is never modified.
Key Features
Tags are sorted into Camera, Settings, GPS, Date & Time, and Image sections instead of one overwhelming list, so you find what you need at a glance.
Camera body, lens, resolution, capture date, and exposure (f/stop, shutter, ISO, focal length) are formatted with real units, not raw numbers.
If a photo is geotagged, the exact coordinates appear with an embedded map preview and a one-click link to open the spot in Google Maps.
Download a clean copy with all metadata stripped, re-encoded in the original format so the file stays the right size and quality.
Filter dozens of tags instantly, copy any single value, or copy the entire metadata record as formatted JSON for your records.
Everything runs in your browser. Images are never uploaded to a server, so your photos and their location data stay on your device.
Why Remove EXIF Data?
GPS coordinates embedded in photos can reveal your home, workplace, or exact whereabouts to anyone who downloads the image.
Camera serial numbers, owner names, and software tags can be used to link photos back to you or to a specific device.
Some platforms strip metadata, but many do not. Clean your images first so you control exactly what you reveal.
Journalists, activists, and sellers can share photos without leaking the time and place a sensitive image was captured.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EXIF metadata?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is data embedded inside photos by cameras and phones. It can include GPS coordinates, the date and time, the camera and lens model, and technical settings like aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Both reading the metadata and removing it happen entirely in your browser. Your images never leave your device, so the tool is completely private and even works offline.
Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?
The clean copy is re-encoded at high quality in the original format (JPEG stays JPEG, PNG stays PNG). Any visible difference is negligible, while all metadata — including GPS — is fully removed.
Why does my image show no EXIF data?
Some images never had EXIF (e.g. screenshots), and many social platforms strip it on upload. PNG files also rarely carry camera metadata. In those cases there is simply nothing to display.
Can it show where a photo was taken?
Yes. If the photo is geotagged, the GPS section shows the exact latitude and longitude with a map preview and a link to open the location in Google Maps.
Which formats are supported?
You can read metadata from JPEG, PNG, WEBP, TIFF, and HEIC. The clean download is produced in a widely compatible format that browsers can re-encode.
The Image EXIF Viewer & Remover turns the hidden data inside your photos into a clear, searchable report — grouped tags, a friendly highlights panel, a GPS map, and one-click metadata removal. Completely free, 100% private, and running entirely in your browser.
