🔎 EXIF Metadata Viewer & Remover

Photos often carry invisible metadata — where they were taken, what device shot them, when. See it here, then strip it and download if you'd rather not keep it.

Up to 100 files at once, 30MB each.
You can also paste an image with Ctrl+V (⌘V on Mac).
JPG files only — EXIF is the metadata format stored in JPGs.
The metadata was cut out of the file without re-encoding, so image quality and colors are identical to the original. Only the orientation value is kept so photos don't appear sideways, and the color profile (ICC) is preserved.
No files added yet.

Remove the information cameras and phones save inside photo files — camera model, timestamp, and especially GPS location. The metadata is cut out of the file rather than re-encoding the image, so there's no quality loss at all.

Frequently asked questions

Exactly what gets removed?

The entire EXIF block (camera/phone model, timestamp, GPS location, software info, embedded thumbnail), other metadata like XMP and IPTC, and any extra data appended after the image (such as a motion-photo video). Only the orientation value is kept so the photo doesn't appear sideways.

Does this reduce image quality?

No. Instead of re-encoding the image, the metadata is cut directly out of the file, so the pixels are identical to the original and the color profile (ICC) is preserved.

Why should I remove location data?

If GPS coordinates stay in a photo you post online, the location where it was taken (home, workplace) can be exposed to anyone who inspects the file. It's especially worth doing before posting photos of children or photos taken at home.
