About this tool
Photos often carry hidden details: where the picture was taken (GPS), the date and time, and the phone or camera model. This tool shows what is inside your photo and removes it before you post or send it. JPG files are cleaned without re-compressing, so quality stays exactly the same.
How to use it
- Add one or more photos. The hidden data is listed right away.
- Check what was found, such as the GPS location.
- Press Remove data & Download. Several photos come as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data?
EXIF is information that cameras and phones save inside a photo: the date and time, the camera or phone model, the settings, and often the exact GPS location. Related data can also be stored as XMP or IPTC.
Does my photo contain my location?
It can. Phones add GPS data when location is on for the camera. This tool tells you if it found coordinates in your photo.
Does removing it reduce quality?
For JPG, no. The picture data is not touched, only the extra information is cut out. For PNG and WebP the picture is saved again, and a rotated JPG is also saved again so it keeps the right direction.
Do social networks remove it for me?
Many do when you post, but not all, and not when you send the original file by email or chat. Removing it yourself is safer.
Does it keep the color profile?
Yes for JPG. The color profile stays, so colors look the same.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The file is read and cleaned inside your browser.
Is it free?
Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up and no watermark.
