EXIF Viewer & Remover

See the hidden data inside a photo — camera, date, settings and GPS coordinates — then download a clean copy with all of it stripped out. Nothing leaves your device.

What this tool reads

Cameras and phones write a block of metadata into every photo: the make and model, the exact date and time, exposure settings, the editing software used and — if location services were on — the GPS coordinates of the spot where you stood. This viewer decodes that block in your browser and shows it in plain language.

How the clean copy works

The clean copy is produced by redrawing the pixels onto a blank canvas and re-encoding them as a fresh JPG. Because the new file is built from pixels alone, there is no metadata block to carry over — no coordinates, no serial numbers, no edit history. Read the full EXIF and photo privacy guide for the platform-by-platform breakdown, or shrink the clean file further with the compress to size tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about image conversion.

No. The file is read as raw bytes inside your browser and the metadata is decoded on your own device. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Mostly JPG files straight from a camera or phone, and some TIFF and HEIC files. PNG, WEBP and screenshots usually carry little or none.

Use the Download clean copy button. It redraws the pixels into a fresh JPG with no metadata block at all, including no GPS coordinates.

The clean copy is re-encoded at quality 92, so it looks the same on screen while dropping the hidden data.

Either location tagging was off when it was taken, or the app you got the file from already stripped it — most social networks do this on upload.
