About this tool

This tool reads the EXIF metadata embedded in a photo — including GPS coordinates, camera model, date, and settings — and lets you download a clean version with all metadata stripped. Everything runs locally in your browser; your photo is never uploaded anywhere.

How to use

  1. Upload or drag a photo (JPEG, PNG, or WebP).
  2. The tool displays all detected metadata, including GPS location if present.
  3. Click the download button to save a clean version with all metadata removed.

When to use this tool

  • Removing GPS coordinates from a photo before posting it publicly on social media.
  • Stripping camera model and date information from images shared in a professional context.
  • Checking what personal data a photo contains before sending it by email.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work on HEIC photos from iPhones?

HEIC files are converted to JPEG first, then cleaned. The downloaded file will be in JPEG format.

Is my photo sent to a server?

No — the entire process runs in your browser using JavaScript. No data ever leaves your device.

Will cleaning the metadata reduce image quality?

For JPEG files, metadata is removed without re-encoding, so quality is unchanged. For PNG and WebP, the image is re-encoded at high quality, which may cause a very minor file size change.

Analysis happens entirely in your browser — your photo is never sent to any server.
