EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in photos by cameras and phones. It includes camera settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), date/time, GPS coordinates, device model, and software used. This data can reveal your location and device details.
Yes. If GPS metadata is present in a photo, anyone can extract the exact coordinates where the photo was taken. This tool lets you view and remove GPS data before sharing images online.
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your image never leaves your device. No data is sent to any server.
No. For JPEG files, metadata is removed by stripping the APP1 (EXIF) and APP13 (IPTC) segments from the binary file without recompressing the image. The pixel data remains identical.
JPEG/JPG images are fully supported with complete EXIF, GPS, IPTC, and XMP parsing. PNG images are supported for tEXt/iTXt/zTXt chunk metadata. The metadata removal feature works for both formats.
