Frequently asked questions
EXIF is data your camera or phone embeds in a photo: the GPS coordinates where it was taken, the device model, the date and time, and camera settings. It travels with the file when you share it.
No. This tool removes only the metadata and copies the image data untouched, so the photo looks identical and loses no quality. It is not re-encoded.
No. Everything runs in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device. That is exactly why you can safely check what it reveals.
Many platforms strip EXIF when you upload, but not all do, and the original file you send by email, chat or a cloud link usually still contains it. Removing it yourself is the reliable option.
JPG and PNG photos, the formats that most commonly carry EXIF and GPS data from phones and cameras.
Yes. The clean copy is written without the metadata block, so the GPS coordinates, device and timestamp are no longer present in the file you download.
Photos from phones and cameras carry hidden EXIF metadata, and the most sensitive part is often the GPS coordinates of exactly where the picture was taken. Share such a photo and you may be revealing your home address, your workplace or your daily routine without realizing it.
This tool first shows you what your photo actually contains, the GPS location, the camera or phone model, the date and time, and the camera settings, so you can see the exposure for yourself. Then it gives you a clean copy with all of that stripped out.
Removal is lossless. The tool copies the image data untouched and discards only the metadata, so the picture looks identical and loses no quality; it is not re-encoded or recompressed. It works on JPG and PNG images.
You might assume social networks already scrub this, and many do strip EXIF on upload, but not all platforms do, and the original file you send by email, chat or cloud link usually still carries everything. Stripping it yourself before sharing removes the guesswork.
Beyond location privacy, removing metadata also drops device and timestamp details that can quietly fingerprint who took a photo and when, which matters for whistleblowers, journalists, marketplace listings and anyone sharing images with strangers.
The entire process runs in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded. That is the whole point: you can safely inspect what an image reveals precisely because it never leaves your device.
