See What's Hidden Inside Your Photos
Every JPEG your camera or phone saves carries a hidden block of exif data: camera make and model, exposure settings, and often exact GPS location, all embedded silently inside the file. This exif viewer lets you view exif data online instantly, right in your browser, so you can check camera settings from photo files or confirm whether a picture is safe to post before it leaves your hands. Because this doubles as a jpeg metadata viewer, you can inspect every field EXIF actually stores, not just a summary, before deciding what to do with it.
How to Use This EXIF Viewer
Drop a JPEG onto the upload area, or click to browse, the file is parsed instantly and never leaves your browser. Camera details, exposure settings, and GPS coordinates (if present) appear immediately on the right, with an OpenStreetMap link for any GPS location found. Click Strip EXIF Data to remove metadata from photo content in one step, then Download Clean Image to save a copy with none of it left.
Why Strip GPS and Camera Data Before Sharing a Photo
GPS location data is the biggest risk: a single geotagged photo can pinpoint exactly where it was taken, down to a few meters, which is why so many privacy guides recommend you strip gps data from photo files before posting anything online, especially pictures taken at home. Camera make, model, and even the exact software version used to edit the image are also embedded and can be used to fingerprint a device or account across multiple posts. Using this tool to remove location data from image files, and remove metadata from photo files generally, takes one click and leaves the actual picture completely unchanged.
What Gets Removed (and What Doesn't)
Stripping removes the entire EXIF block in one pass, camera info, exposure settings, software tag, and GPS together, so if you need to remove exif data entirely there's no way to remove only some of it while keeping the rest. This exif remover works specifically with JPEG files, since that's where EXIF data lives in the vast majority of real-world photos, it doesn't currently read or strip metadata from PNG, HEIC, or WebP files. Removing EXIF data never touches the actual pixels, the stripped image looks pixel-for-pixel identical to the original, only the hidden metadata block is gone.
