This EXIF viewer shows the hidden metadata inside a photo: camera and lens, exposure settings, the date it was taken and, if the phone saved it, the GPS location. You can then remove the metadata before sharing, losslessly and for many photos at once. Everything is read on your device, so private pictures stay private.
How to use
- Pick a tool at the top: Resize, Compress, Crop, Rotate, Convert or EXIF.
- Drop images on the card, tap to choose them, or paste with Ctrl+V. You can add many at once.
- Adjust the options. Tap an image in the list to preview it, crop it or see its metadata.
- Press the button and download the result: one file, or a ZIP when there are several. Compress runs automatically.
- Images are processed in your browser and never uploaded.
- Photos are turned upright using their EXIF orientation before editing.
- Compress keeps the original when re-encoding would make it bigger. PNG compression reduces colors (up to 256) and keeps transparency.
- Removing metadata from JPEG, PNG and WebP is lossless: only the metadata is cut out, pixels stay identical. The orientation tag is kept so photos stay upright.
- AVIF appears as a format when your browser can encode it. HEIC photos open only in browsers that support them (such as Safari).
What EXIF data contains
EXIF (Exchangeable image file format) is a block of tags that cameras and phones write into JPEG and other image files. Typical tags are the camera model, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, date and time, orientation, the editing software and, when location is enabled, latitude and longitude. A full tag list is available for everything the photo contains, and a map link opens the stored location.
Why remove metadata before sharing
GPS coordinates can reveal where you live or work, and dates show when you were there. Some platforms strip metadata on upload, but files sent as attachments, through cloud links or as original-quality uploads often keep it. Removing EXIF before you send a photo is the simple way to be sure.
Lossless removal
For JPEG, PNG and WebP the metadata segments are cut out of the file and the image data is copied unchanged, so there is no recompression and no quality loss. The orientation tag is kept so the photo still appears upright.
Frequently asked questions
How do I see where a photo was taken?
Open the photo here: if it contains GPS coordinates, the location is shown with a link to open it on a map. If there is no location, the phone did not save one or it was removed earlier.
Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?
No. Only the metadata is cut out of the file; the image data is copied byte for byte, so the pixels stay identical.
Do social networks remove EXIF data?
Many large platforms remove most metadata from public images, but email attachments, messaging apps sending original files and cloud links often keep it. Removing it yourself is the safe option.
Why is my photo still upright after removing metadata?
The orientation tag is kept on purpose. Without it, many phone photos would appear sideways.
Can I check the camera settings of a photo?
Yes. The summary shows camera, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed and ISO when they are recorded, and the full list shows every tag in the file.
Is my photo uploaded to read the metadata?
No. The file is read in your browser, so the photo and its location never leave your device.
