EXIF Viewer & Remover

Every photo from a phone or camera carries hidden details called metadata. EXIF records the camera and lens, the exact time, the settings and, very often, the GPS position where it was taken, accurate to a few metres. Editors add more: XMP notes with your name and edit history, IPTC captions and copyright lines, PNG text and sometimes a small preview of the picture before it was cropped.

EXIF Viewer and Remover reads all of that with its own parsers, right in your browser, and lays it out in plain English: camera and lens, exposure settings, dates, author and copyright, image details and technical extras. If a photo holds a location, a red warning shows the coordinates with a link to check them on a map site, and place names such as a city are flagged too.

When you are ready, “Remove all metadata” saves a clean copy. JPG, PNG and WebP files are cleaned losslessly: the metadata blocks are cut out and the picture data is copied byte for byte, so there is no quality loss. You can keep the colour profile and rotation tag. Clean up to 50 photos at once and download them as a ZIP.

1. Press “Choose files” or drop photos onto the box. You can add up to 50 at once.
2. Tap a photo in the list to see its details. Photos with a location get a red “Has location” badge.
3. Read the summary and the sections below it. Type in the filter box to find a tag, or tick “Technical names” to see the original EXIF names.
4. Leave “Keep colour profile” and “Keep the rotation tag” ticked unless you want absolutely everything gone.
5. Press “Remove all metadata”. Each photo is checked again afterwards and the list shows what is left.
6. Press “Download clean copy”, or download all the clean photos as one ZIP.

• Reads EXIF (camera, lens, exposure, dates, rotation, GPS), XMP, IPTC captions, JPEG comments, PNG text and timestamps, and colour profile names.
• Works with JPG, PNG, WebP and TIFF, and finds EXIF and XMP inside HEIC and AVIF files from iPhones and modern cameras.
• Big location warning with decimal and degree coordinates, altitude and text links to OpenStreetMap or Google Maps. No map is loaded inside the page.
• Shows the hidden preview picture some cameras and editors store inside the file.
• Plain-English labels and units: “1/250 s”, “f/2.8”, “Needs turning 90° right”, flash fired or not, 35 mm equivalent focal length.
• Lossless cleaning for JPG, PNG and WebP: also removes maker notes, extra pictures (MPF) and anything hidden after the end of a JPG.
• HEIC, AVIF, TIFF and GIF are re-saved as high-quality JPG or lossless PNG, which leaves their metadata behind.
• Batch of up to 50 photos, each re-checked after cleaning, with a ZIP download, a filter box and “Copy all” as text.

• Most social networks strip location when you post, but messaging apps sending “original quality” files, email and cloud links usually keep everything.
• Keep the rotation tag ticked. Without it, many phone photos would appear sideways, because the picture is stored rotated and the tag tells apps to turn it.
• The colour profile describes how to show the colours, for example Display P3 on iPhones. It contains no personal information.
• Your photo’s file date on your computer is not metadata and is not changed by this tool.
• To stop location being saved in the first place, turn off location for the camera app in your phone’s privacy settings.
