Inspect the metadata hidden in your photos — then remove it before sharing.
Photos quietly store the camera model, settings, date and often the exact GPS location where they were taken. Drop a photo to see everything inside it. Your file is analysed locally and never uploaded.

Re-saving only the pixels produces a clean copy with no EXIF, GPS, XMP or other embedded metadata. JPEG copies are re-encoded at high quality (92%); PNG copies keep every pixel exactly.
View every piece of metadata hidden inside a photo — camera model, settings, dates and GPS location — then download a clean copy with all of it removed. Analysis and cleaning happen entirely in your browser.
A typical phone photo contains 40 or more properties, often including the precise GPS coordinates of your home. After cleaning, the same photo usually keeps its full resolution and visual quality but reports no location, device or timestamp metadata at all.
The viewer reads embedded metadata segments (EXIF, IPTC, XMP, ICC and file headers) directly from the file bytes in your browser. The remover works differently: it decodes the image and re-encodes only the pixels onto a fresh canvas, so no metadata segment is copied across. JPEG output uses 92% quality; PNG output is lossless. Your browser applies the stored orientation while decoding, so cleaned photos still display the right way up.
EXIF is metadata cameras and phones embed in photo files: device model, lens, exposure settings, date and time, and frequently GPS coordinates accurate to a few metres. Anyone you send the original file to can read it.
No. The pixels are preserved at full resolution; JPEG output is re-encoded at 92% quality, which is visually indistinguishable in normal use. Only the hidden data segments are removed.
No. Both reading and cleaning happen locally in your browser. Your photos — and their locations — never leave your device.
Posting an original photo can reveal where you live, when a picture was taken and what device you own. Marketplaces, forums and email attachments often keep the original file intact, so cleaning it yourself is the reliable option.
The viewer reports the location data stored in the file. If no GPS fields are present, the file itself carries none — but a filename or surrounding message could still hint at a place.
