View and remove EXIF data from photos
See the GPS location, date and camera details hidden in a photo and save a copy with that data removed. Runs in your browser, free, no sign-up.
Result
Add photos and click Convert. You first see the hidden data (location, date taken, device), then get a copy with it removed.
What to do next
How it works
Add photos and click Convert. The tool first reads the hidden data in each file: GPS location, date taken, phone or camera model, editing software, lens and so on, and summarizes it on the result card. Location shows only as rough coordinates with no map link.
It then writes a copy with only the metadata removed. For JPG, the EXIF, XMP and IPTC segments are cut out and the image data is copied as is, so nothing is re-compressed. PNG and WebP lose only their text and EXIF chunks. The output is read back right away to verify that no location data remains.
Things to know
Phone photos store which way is up in an EXIF orientation value, so stripping it blindly can leave the photo sideways or upside down. By default, only photos with an orientation tag are rotated upright and re-saved (quality 95). If you need zero quality loss, choose Keep original bytes and accept that the orientation may be off.
The color profile (ICC) is kept by default. It holds no location or device data, and removing it can shift the colors. Information visible in the picture, such as text, signs or the background, is outside the scope of this tool. For iPhone HEIC photos, convert them with the HEIC to JPG tool first; the metadata is dropped during that conversion.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether a photo has location data?
Add the photo and click Convert. The result lists what was found. If there is location data you see a Location present flag and rough coordinates (two decimal places). No map link is created.
Do I need to strip it before posting to Instagram or sending in a chat app?
Most social networks and messaging apps strip location data on upload. But when a file is sent as is, such as an email attachment, a marketplace listing or a blog upload, the data can stay in, so removing it first is the safer choice.
Does removing it reduce the quality?
For JPG, only the metadata segments are cut out and the image data is copied untouched, so the quality is identical. Photos that carried an orientation tag are rotated upright and re-saved (quality 95) so they do not end up sideways. If you want zero loss, choose Keep original bytes.
Can I check that everything was really removed?
After cleaning, the tool reads the output back and shows a No GPS confirmed line under Verification. If you kept the color profile (ICC), it is the only item listed under Remaining data. Information visible in the picture itself, like signs or house numbers, cannot be removed this way.
