- Click Download clean copy to get the same photo with all of it stripped out.
See what your photos are hiding
Every photo from a phone or camera carries a hidden layer of data. Some of it is harmless trivia — the shutter speed, the lens. Some of it isn't: the GPS coordinatesbaked into a holiday snap or a photo taken at home can pinpoint exactly where you were. This viewer lays it all out, and flags location data with a warning so you can't miss it.
Stripped clean, without touching the picture
When you remove the metadata, the image itself is preserved. For JPEGs the sensitive segments — EXIF, GPS, XMP and IPTC — are cut out surgically while the compressed picture data is copied across untouched, so the result is pixel-for-pixel identical, just lighter. The one thing handled with care is orientation: because the rotate hint lives inside EXIF, a photo that depends on it has its rotation baked into the pixels first, so your clean copy never comes out sideways.
Built for privacy
A tool that removes private data shouldn't send your photo to a server to do it. This one doesn't — everything runs on your own device, nothing is uploaded, and it works offline. No account, no watermark, no limits.

Frequently asked questions
- What is EXIF metadata?
- EXIF is hidden data your camera or phone stores inside a photo: the make and model, lens, exposure, ISO, the date and time it was taken — and often the exact GPS coordinates of where you were standing. It travels with the file when you share it.
- Why should I remove it?
- Mostly privacy. A photo posted online can quietly reveal your home address through its GPS tag, or the time and device behind it. Stripping the metadata before you share removes that trail while leaving the picture itself untouched.
- Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?
- No. For JPEGs the metadata is cut out surgically — the compressed image data is kept byte-for-byte, so the pixels are identical and the file just gets a little smaller. Nothing is re-compressed.
- Will my photo end up sideways after stripping?
- No. The rotation hint also lives in EXIF, so if a photo relies on it, the orientation is first baked into the actual pixels before the metadata is removed. The clean copy always displays the right way up.
- What about the color profile?
- The ICC color profile is kept. It isn't sensitive, and removing it could shift the colors of the image. Only the identifying metadata — EXIF, GPS, XMP and IPTC — is taken out.
- Is my photo uploaded?
- No. Both reading and removing happen entirely in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device, which is exactly what you want from a privacy tool.
