Check what a photo reveals about the camera, the settings and the location, then save a copy with that metadata removed.
Runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded
Cameras and phones write EXIF metadata into each photo: the camera model, the lens, exposure settings, the capture time and often GPS coordinates. Photographers use it to learn from their settings, but the same data tells anyone who receives the original file where and when it was taken.
This viewer reads the metadata in your browser and lists the fields that are present. Screenshots, many edited exports and images passed through messaging apps have little or no EXIF, and the viewer says so instead of showing an empty table.
If location data is present, the page shows a warning. The download button redraws the photo on a canvas, which discards EXIF and GPS, and saves a new copy you can share.
Typical fields include the camera make and model, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, flash use, the date and time of capture, the image dimensions and the software name. Many phones also add GPS latitude and longitude, and some store a thumbnail preview.
Many services and apps remove metadata. Social networks, messaging apps and some editors strip it on upload or export, and screenshots never include camera fields. Use the original file straight from the camera or phone to see the full set.
Use the download button on this page to save a copy without metadata. The tool redraws the image and encodes a new file that drops GPS and camera fields. Load the new file into the viewer again to confirm that no coordinates remain.
No. The file is read in memory with the browser's file APIs. It is discarded when you choose another file or close the tab, and nothing is sent over the network.
It can, when the camera had location services enabled. GPS latitude and longitude are stored as degrees, minutes and seconds with a reference direction, and they are often accurate to within a few metres. That is why publishing original files publicly is a privacy risk.
Each camera writes only the fields it supports. A phone photo may include GPS but no lens model, and an older compact camera may omit ISO or flash data. Missing fields are not listed, so the table only shows what the file actually contains.
