JPG works best for EXIF data. PNG and WebP usually have none.

How to view and remove EXIF data

1

Drop a JPEG photo

Drag in any JPEG file. The metadata is read locally — nothing is uploaded.

2

Read the metadata

Camera make and model, date taken, GPS coordinates, ISO, aperture, shutter speed — all shown in a clean table.

3

Strip it

Click Remove EXIF to get a clean copy of the image with all metadata removed.

4

Download the clean image

Save the stripped version. Same image, no metadata.

What your photos are sharing without you knowing

Every photo you take on a modern smartphone contains a lot more than the image itself. The file includes the exact GPS coordinates of where you took the photo, the device make and model, the date and time down to the second, and often the camera app used.

When you upload that photo to a forum, send it in an email, or post it anywhere that preserves the original file, that metadata goes with it. Anyone who downloads the file and opens its properties can see all of that information.

Most social media platforms strip EXIF on upload. But many file sharing services, email attachments, and direct image links do not. If you are sharing a photo of your house, your workplace, or anywhere identifiable, stripping the EXIF before sharing is a simple privacy step that takes two clicks with this tool.

FAQ

What is EXIF data?+
EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. It is metadata embedded in JPEG files by cameras and phones — date and time, GPS location, device make and model, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and more.
Why would I want to remove it?+
Privacy. Photos taken on a phone contain GPS coordinates by default. Sharing them without stripping the EXIF means anyone who receives the file can see exactly where the photo was taken. Same applies to device info, which can reveal what phone you used.
Does stripping EXIF affect image quality?+
No. The pixel data is completely untouched. Only the metadata embedded alongside the image data is removed. The visual quality is identical.
What formats support EXIF?+
JPEG is the main one. PNG and WebP have their own metadata formats (tEXt chunks and XMP respectively) but they rarely include GPS data. EXIF is almost exclusively a JPEG thing.
