Free Image Metadata Viewer
Upload a photo to view its EXIF metadata, including camera info, date taken, GPS coordinates, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and more. You can also remove all metadata for privacy before sharing. All processing happens in your browser.
What Is EXIF Data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in photos by cameras and smartphones. It records technical details about how the photo was taken, including camera settings, timestamps, and sometimes GPS coordinates.
While EXIF data is useful for photographers who want to review their settings, it can also be a privacy concern. Sharing photos with GPS coordinates can reveal your location. Removing metadata before posting online is a good practice for protecting your privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which image formats contain EXIF data?
- JPEG images are the most common format containing EXIF data. Some TIFF and HEIC files also contain EXIF. PNG files typically do not contain EXIF metadata.
- How does the “Remove All Metadata” button work?
- The tool redraws your image on an HTML canvas, which naturally strips all embedded metadata. The result is a clean JPEG file with no EXIF, GPS, or other hidden data.
- Are my images uploaded to a server?
- No. All metadata reading and removal happens locally in your browser. Your images never leave your device and are never stored on any server.
