What EXIF can reveal
EXIF can include camera make and model, lens details, orientation, timestamps, author fields, editing software, and sometimes precise GPS location.
EXIF Viewer / Remover
Upload an image to inspect EXIF metadata, find privacy-sensitive fields, and download a cleaned copy locally in your browser.
Metadata report
Upload an image to inspect metadata fields.
Metadata appears after upload.
Image preview, EXIF groups, privacy warnings, report actions, and cleaned downloads stay in this browser session.EXIF metadata guide
Inspect camera, date, location, software, and rights metadata before sharing images in documentation, bug reports, portfolios, or public websites.
GPS privacy risks
Latitude and longitude can reveal a home, office, school, job site, or travel pattern. Treat GPS metadata as sensitive before posting photos publicly.
Camera and device data
Camera model, serial-style fields, lens details, and software names can identify equipment or workflows even when the image content looks harmless.
How removal works
The cleaned copy is decoded and redrawn through browser canvas, then exported as a new raster image. That export usually omits common metadata blocks.
Browser stripping limits
Canvas export may not preserve animation, every color profile, transparency behavior, or every format-specific feature. Keep originals and verify important files.
JPEG, PNG, and WebP
JPEG commonly carries EXIF. PNG often uses text, eXIf, or color-profile chunks. WebP can carry EXIF, XMP, and ICC chunks depending on the encoder.
Frequently asked questions
Does EXIF Viewer / Remover upload my image?
No. File reading, metadata inspection, preview, canvas export, report creation, and downloads happen locally in your browser.
Which image formats are supported?
The input accepts JPEG, PNG, and WebP files that the browser can decode. Metadata detection depends on the fields and containers used by the original encoder.
Can this remove GPS location data?
For supported raster outputs, the cleaned canvas export strips most common metadata including GPS EXIF fields. Verify critical files before sharing them publicly.
Why are some metadata fields shown as raw tags?
Camera vendors and apps can write specialized metadata. Common fields are labeled clearly, while less common TIFF tags may appear as raw tag identifiers.
Will the cleaned image look identical?
The image is re-encoded, so JPEG and WebP quality settings can affect appearance and size. PNG output is lossless but can be larger for photos.
Does this tool handle SVG metadata?
No. SVG can contain active markup and embedded content, so this tool focuses on raster images. Use SVG Viewer for SVG-specific inspection workflows.
