EXIF Viewer & Remover
Inspect and strip metadata from images.
Inspect every EXIF, GPS, and camera metadata tag embedded in your photos, then download a clean copy with the metadata stripped. Useful for privacy, file size, and removing location data before sharing.
How to use the EXIF Viewer & Remover
- 1
Drop a photo in
Drag a JPG or supported image onto the tool. The tool reads metadata locally using a JavaScript EXIF parser.
- 2
Inspect the metadata table
Every embedded tag — camera model, lens, ISO, GPS coordinates, software, timestamps — is displayed in a sortable table.
- 3
Download a clean copy
Click Download stripped. The tool re-encodes the image without EXIF, GPS, IPTC, or XMP data while preserving pixel quality.
- 4
Verify with a second pass
Drop the stripped file back in to confirm the metadata table is now empty.

Frequently asked questions
Does stripping EXIF reduce image quality?
No. Metadata stripping removes auxiliary tags but does not re-encode the pixel data, so the visual quality of the photo is identical to the original.
Does removing EXIF also remove GPS location?
Yes. GPS coordinates are stored inside EXIF, so a full strip removes location information along with the rest of the camera metadata.
Why do PNG files show no EXIF?
PNG can technically carry EXIF chunks but most software writes them only to JPG/JPEG/TIFF. If a PNG has no EXIF, the table simply renders empty.
