Remove EXIF Data from Photo
Photos from your phone hide GPS location, camera model and the date they were taken — anyone you send them to can read it. Check what your photo reveals, then download a clean copy with all metadata removed. Everything happens in your browser; your photo is never uploaded.
| Metadata found in your photo | Value |
|---|---|
| File name | — |
| Dimensions | — |
| Camera make / model | — |
| Date & time taken | — |
| GPS location stored? | — |
| Other metadata | — |
How to Use
- Choose a photo — a JPG from your phone is the usual case.
- Read the metadata report: camera, date, and whether a GPS location is stored.
- Pick JPEG or PNG for the clean copy (JPEG is smaller; PNG keeps transparency).
- Press Remove Metadata and download the clean copy — share that one, not the original.
What Is EXIF — and Why Remove It?
- EXIF is a hidden block inside a photo that your camera or phone adds when you take it: camera make and model, date and time, exposure settings — and, if location access was on, the GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken.
- That data travels with the photo when you share it on WhatsApp, email or a website. Someone can read your home location or your daily routine from a few photos.
- Removing it before sharing is a simple privacy habit — especially for photos of children, your home, or your workplace.
- This tool never uploads your photo: the check and the cleaning both run inside your browser tab.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The metadata check and the clean copy are made inside your browser — no server, no upload, no account. Your photo never leaves your device.
Does the clean photo look different?
No — the picture itself is unchanged. Only the hidden metadata block is removed. A JPEG clean copy is re-saved at 95% quality, which is almost never visible.
My photo shows "no EXIF found" — is that normal?
Yes. Screenshots, downloaded images and photos edited in many apps already have no EXIF. Only photos straight from a camera or phone usually carry camera, date and GPS data.
Can I remove only the GPS and keep the rest?
No — the clean copy removes the whole metadata block at once. That is the safe option: GPS, camera, date and all other hidden fields go together.
