How to use image metadata viewer & remover
Select a photo. Metadata is parsed locally and grouped by Location, Device, Time, Identity, and Other.
Risky fields such as GPS coordinates are highlighted first.
Export a clean copy — the image is re-encoded without metadata.
The output is reparsed to confirm the fields are gone, and you get a before/after report of field counts.
What this tool does
- Reads EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, and ICC metadata locally
- Groups fields by risk: Location, Device, Time, Identity, Editing, Other
- Shows GPS position on a plain-language summary (no map service is contacted)
- Strips all metadata via clean re-encode
- Reparses the exported file and reports before/after field counts
How the result is verified
The exported bytes are reparsed with the same metadata engine. Success requires zero remaining EXIF/GPS/XMP/IPTC fields; the report lists field names and counts only, never values.
Frequently asked questions
What can photo metadata reveal?
Typical phone photos embed GPS coordinates, altitude, timestamps, device make and model, and sometimes an embedded preview thumbnail. A photo shared with intact metadata can reveal where you live or work and when you were there.
Does this touch the picture itself?
The visible pixels are redrawn as-is; only the metadata containers are left behind. If you also need to hide visible content, use the Redact Image tool first.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The file is opened with your browser's File API and processed by code running in your tab. You can confirm this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network panel, and process a file — no request carries your file's bytes. See our How it works page for a step-by-step verification guide.
