What does your photo reveal? EXIF and GPS metadata viewer
Drop a photo to see the EXIF metadata it carries: camera make and model, software, capture date, orientation, dimensions and, above all, GPS coordinates. You can then download a cleaned copy with no metadata. Everything runs in your browser - no image is uploaded or stored.
No image is uploaded. Everything runs entirely in your browser - the file never leaves your device.

A photo can give away your location
Many devices record GPS latitude and longitude inside the EXIF block. Shared as-is, a photo can reveal where you live, work or were at a given moment.
EXIF goes beyond location
Camera make and model, editing software, exact date and time: details that can tie several photos together, or tie them to you.
Platforms do not always strip it
Some networks remove EXIF on upload, others do not - and sending an original file (email, cloud, messaging) often keeps every piece of metadata.

FAQ
- Are my photos sent to a server?
- No. Reading the metadata and cleaning the image happen entirely in your browser, in JavaScript. The file is never uploaded and nothing is stored. Reload the page to clear everything.
- How does the cleaned copy remove metadata?
- The tool re-encodes the image through an HTML canvas (it redraws the pixels then exports a new file). That re-encoding does not carry the EXIF/GPS blocks, so the resulting copy has no metadata while keeping the same pixels.
- Which formats are supported?
- Common image formats such as JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF and WebP. EXIF/GPS metadata is found mostly in JPEG and HEIC files from cameras and smartphones.
- No metadata shows up: is that normal?
- Yes, it can happen. The photo may already have been cleaned (by a social network, an export or a screenshot) or never contained EXIF at all. That is the safest state for sharing an image.
- Does the cleaned copy change image quality?
- The copy is exported as a lossless PNG from the original pixels. Resolution is preserved; only the file size may change depending on the source format.
