See what your photos reveal, then remove it without touching the image
Free EXIF viewer: see camera, lens, settings, date and GPS location in any JPG or PNG, then download a copy without metadata. Nothing is uploaded.
Facts and prices checked on 2026-11-06.
Every photo carries hidden data: the camera and lens, the exposure, the date and often the exact GPS position where it was taken. Drop a JPG or PNG to read it, and download a clean copy with that data removed. The image itself is copied byte for byte, so nothing is recompressed, and nothing leaves your device.
iPhone HEIC photos: the HEIC converter already leaves the metadata out.
Why the location matters
Phones write the GPS position into a photo whenever the camera has location access. A photo of a newborn session at a client’s home, sent by email or shared through a cloud link, can carry that address with it. Some social networks remove metadata when you post, but email, messaging apps, file transfers and your own website often keep it.
What the clean copy keeps and removes
- Removed: EXIF (camera, settings, date, GPS), XMP, IPTC captions and keywords, and comments.
- Kept: the image data untouched, the colour profile, and the rotation, so the photo still stands the right way up.
- Also removed: author and copyright fields. If you want them in delivered files, add them back in your editing software after cleaning.
Formats
JPG and PNG are read and cleaned. HEIC photos from an iPhone come out of the free HEIC converter already without metadata. RAW files are not supported here.
Share photos with clients through a private gallery link instead of loose files.
See client galleriesFrequently asked questions
Is the image quality reduced?
No. Only the metadata blocks are dropped; the compressed image data is copied unchanged, so the clean file looks identical and is slightly smaller.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The files are read and cleaned in your browser and never leave your device.
How do I stop my phone adding the location?
Turn off location access for the camera app in your phone’s privacy settings. Photos taken before that keep their position until you clean them.
