Image metadata viewer and remover.

EXIF is information a camera or phone stores inside a photo: for example the camera model, the date and time it was taken, exposure settings and sometimes GPS coordinates. Editing apps add more, such as XMP or IPTC fields with authors, captions or keywords. You do not see it in the picture, but anyone who has the file can read it.

Yes, if location was turned on when it was taken. Many phones store GPS latitude and longitude in the photo. This tool shows the coordinates as numbers if they are present. They are never sent to a map or any other service.

Add your images and review what was found. Choose what to remove: everything, only private data, or your own selection of categories and fields. Each cleaned file is read back and checked before it is offered: the removed metadata must be gone, the kept metadata unchanged and the picture identical. Then download the files one by one or as a ZIP.

Yes. Choose Custom selection, then tick whole categories, such as GPS & location or Dates & times, or individual fields, such as the camera serial number. Everything you do not tick stays in the file unchanged, and the result is checked to confirm that. For example, you can remove the location and keep the copyright and camera settings.

Remove all deletes every kind of metadata except what is needed to display the picture (colour profile, orientation, transparency and animation). Remove private data deletes location, device identity and serial numbers, dates, software, XMP and IPTC, but keeps the artist, copyright and camera settings in EXIF. Custom selection lets you decide category by category and field by field.

JPG, PNG and WebP. EXIF fields (location, camera, dates, settings and so on) can be removed one by one, PNG text entries one keyword at a time, and comments, previews and other blocks one kind at a time. XMP and IPTC can only be removed as a whole packet. HEIC photos cannot keep any metadata here: cleaning converts them to JPG and removes everything.

Some data depends on its exact position in the file. Camera maker notes, for example, contain internal pointers that break when the EXIF block is rewritten, so they cannot be kept if you remove another EXIF field. XMP and IPTC are stored as single packets. The tool tells you before cleaning and asks you to confirm, or to change your selection; it never removes more than you chose without asking.

Yes. A copyright notice or artist name is personal information, and camera or lens models, maker notes and dates can help link photos to a person or device. Keep only what you need, and remember that the picture itself and its file name can also reveal information.

No for JPG, PNG and WebP. Only the metadata blocks are removed; the image data is copied byte for byte and never re-encoded, and the result is checked pixel by pixel. HEIC photos are the exception: their metadata cannot be removed in place, so they are converted to JPG at high quality only if you choose that option.

Yes, the information needed to show the picture correctly: the colour profile, colour settings, transparency, animation and image resolution (DPI). If a photo is stored sideways and relies on a rotation flag, a minimal flag containing only the rotation is kept so it stays upright. It contains no camera, date or location details.

No. It removes the hidden information stored in the file, but the picture itself can still reveal a lot: faces, street signs, landmarks, documents or reflections. The file name can also say something about you. Check the image itself before sharing it.

JPG, PNG and WebP (including transparent and animated images) can be inspected and cleaned without re-encoding. HEIC and HEIF photos can be inspected; cleaning them requires conversion to JPG. Up to 30 files at a time, 50 MB each. Other formats such as GIF, TIFF or AVIF are not supported.

No. Reading and removing metadata happens in your browser on your device. Your images and their metadata are not sent to our servers or to any other service.
