About EXIF Data

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) metadata is embedded automatically by cameras and phones into every photo they take. It can include the camera make and model, the exact date and time, exposure settings — and, if location services were on, the precise GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken.

This is invisible when you look at the image, but it travels with the file wherever it's shared. Many social platforms strip it automatically, but email, messaging apps, and direct downloads often don't — meaning a photo you send could reveal your home address or other private locations.

Removing metadata re-encodes the image via the browser's canvas, which has no channel for metadata — the visible pixels are preserved exactly, but nothing else survives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata can this tool see?

Camera make and model, date and time taken, exposure settings, GPS location (if present), software used, and dozens of other EXIF tags embedded by cameras and phones.

Why would I want to remove this data?

Photos taken on phones often embed the exact GPS coordinates of where they were taken. Sharing such a photo online can reveal your home address or other private locations without you realizing it.

Does removing metadata reduce image quality?

No. Only the invisible metadata is removed — the visible pixels are unchanged.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. Both reading and removing metadata happen entirely in your browser. Your image and its data never leave your device.
