Check what your photos reveal (camera, date and exact location) and remove it before you share them.
Photos from phones and cameras store hidden EXIF data: the camera model, the exact date and time, and often the GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken. If you post such a photo on a forum, marketplace or blog, anyone can download it and see where you live or work.
Some social networks remove this data when you upload, but many websites, email attachments, messaging apps (when sending as a file) and cloud links keep it.
For JPG and PNG, the tool removes the metadata blocks directly from the file, without re-compressing the image, so the picture is bit-for-bit identical. Color profiles are kept so colors look the same.
A JPG with an orientation tag is re-saved at high quality, so it still displays upright after the tag is removed. WebP files are re-saved the same way.
Quick answers about the exif viewer & remover tool.
EXIF is information that cameras and phones store inside a photo: camera and lens model, exposure settings, date and time, and often the GPS location.
Not for JPG and PNG: the metadata is removed without touching the image data. Only rotated JPGs and WebP files are re-saved, at 95% quality.
Screenshots, edited images and photos downloaded from social media usually have no EXIF, because the app removed it.
No. The data is read and removed in your browser. Your photos never leave your device.
Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
