EXIF data
Before you post a photo to social media, a marketplace listing or a blog, this tool lets you **check what's embedded in it — GPS location, camera model, date taken — and strip the EXIF with one click**. Photos taken on a phone often carry the **exact latitude and longitude of where they were shot**, so sharing the image can quietly reveal your home or a private location. This tool surfaces any location data first (with a map link), then lets you download a cleaned copy with the metadata removed. It's **lossless: the pixels are never re-encoded — only the metadata bytes are stripped**, so image quality is identical and the file just gets a little smaller. It works on JPEG, PNG and WebP, and after stripping it re-checks the file to confirm no EXIF or location data remains. Everything runs locally in your browser — **your photo is never uploaded** (no account needed).
How to use
- Drop a photo here, or click to choose one (you can also paste with Ctrl/Cmd+V). JPEG, PNG and WebP are supported.
- If GPS location is present, it's shown at the top with a warning and a map link, followed by EXIF fields like camera model and date taken.
- Click 'Download photo without EXIF' to save a cleaned, full-quality copy. The tool then verifies that no location data remains.
FAQ
Is the photo I load uploaded anywhere?
No. Reading the EXIF and stripping it both happen entirely in your browser — the photo is never sent to a server. There's no sign-up or login, and nothing is stored.
Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?
No. The tool doesn't re-encode the pixels — it only removes the metadata bytes, so it's lossless. The image looks identical to the original; the file just gets slightly smaller without the metadata.
Where is the location (GPS) stored in a photo?
Photos from phones or GPS-enabled cameras can store the shooting location's latitude and longitude in the EXIF GPS tags. This tool surfaces any location first with a map link so you can see exactly what's recorded before stripping it.
Does it work on formats other than JPEG?
Yes. JPEG, PNG and WebP are all supported. It strips each format's metadata region, so EXIF and other embedded data are removed regardless of format.
Can I confirm the location was actually removed?
Yes. After stripping, the tool re-analyzes the cleaned copy and shows a verification that no EXIF or location data remains, so you can share with confidence.
Do I need an account or pay anything?
No. There's no sign-up or login and it's completely free, with no limit on how many photos you process.
