Photo Metadata (EXIF) Viewer & Remover
See what a JPEG reveals about itself — camera, timestamp, GPS location — then strip it out if you don't want it shared.

PNG and other formats are also read, though EXIF is a JPEG feature — most PNGs won't have any.
About this tool
Digital cameras and phones embed a block of EXIF metadata in most JPEGs: camera make and model, the exact date and time the shutter opened, exposure settings, and — if location services were on — the GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken. This tool reads that block directly from the file's bytes and shows it to you in plain language.
The "Strip metadata" button re-encodes the image through an in-browser canvas, which drops every metadata block in the process, then hands you a clean file to download. Handy before sharing a photo publicly, or for confirming a photo you received doesn't already have location data attached.
Nothing is uploaded anywhere — the file never leaves your device. Everything here runs as JavaScript in your browser tab.
