Image Metadata Viewer & EXIF Cleaner

Upload your image — drag in or browse (JPEG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC). You can add several for batch cleaning.

Review the data — check the Privacy Risk Score, and if GPS coordinates are found, see the exact spot on an interactive map. Open the Metadata tab to read every tag.

Clean and download — choose a preset ("Strip everything" or "Keep copyright, strip GPS"), then "Clean & Download Single", or use Batch Clean for all your files at once.

It might. Phones and cameras with location services on embed the exact GPS coordinates where a photo was taken into its EXIF data. Upload your image here and the tool flags any GPS data and shows the spot on a map, so you can see precisely what a photo would reveal before you share it — then strip it.

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is hidden technical data attached to a photo when it's captured — camera model, lens, exposure settings, date and time, editing software, and often GPS location. It's helpful for photographers reviewing their own shots, but it can expose private details when images are shared publicly. This tool lets you read and remove it.

No. Everything — reading the metadata, showing the map, and cleaning the file — happens in your browser on your own device. Your photos are never uploaded. That's especially important here: a privacy tool that uploaded your sensitive images would defeat its own purpose, so this one keeps everything local.

Upload the photo, and if it has GPS data the tool detects it. Choose the "Keep copyright, strip GPS" preset to remove the location while keeping other useful tags, or "Strip everything" to wipe all metadata, then click Clean & Download. The downloaded image no longer carries the coordinates.

It's a quick at-a-glance indicator of how much identifying data your photo carries — higher when sensitive tags like GPS location are present, lower when little or no metadata is found. Use it as a guide to decide whether a photo needs cleaning before you share it; the Metadata tab shows the full detail behind the score.

For JPEG files, yes. The "Keep copyright, strip GPS" preset preserves ownership tags while removing location and other sensitive data — useful for photographers who want credit but not exposure. For PNG, WebP, and HEIC files, the tool removes all metadata, because those formats don't support the same selective tag editing.

Yes. Add multiple images and use the Batch Clean option to strip metadata from all of them in one step, applying your chosen preset. It's the quickest way to prepare a whole folder of photos for safe sharing without going through them one by one.

No. Cleaning only removes the hidden text data attached to the file — the actual pixels, dimensions, and quality of the image are untouched. The cleaned photo looks identical to the original; it just no longer carries the camera, date, and location information.

You can view and clean JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC images. JPEG carries the richest EXIF data and supports selective stripping; for the other formats the tool removes all metadata. If you need to convert a format first, the Image Converter can help before you clean.

Because it can quietly reveal where and when a photo was taken and what device you used. For journalists, activists, sellers, or anyone posting personal pictures, that's a genuine safety and privacy concern. Stripping the metadata — especially GPS — means a shared photo doesn't broadcast your location or routine.

Yes. It runs in your phone's browser with nothing to install, so you can check and clean a photo's metadata on Android or iOS before posting it. That's convenient because phone photos are the most likely to contain GPS location data in the first place.

Yes, completely free with no account and no limits. You can inspect and clean as many images as you like. Because it runs locally in your browser, there are no server costs passed on to you, no paywall, and no watermark added to your cleaned photos.
