Upload a photo to see its hidden EXIF metadata, or download a clean copy with that metadata removed.
Most photos taken with a phone or digital camera carry more information than just the picture itself. Embedded in the file is EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) metadata — details like the camera or phone model, the exact date and time the photo was taken, camera settings such as aperture and ISO, and in many cases, the precise GPS coordinates of where the photo was captured. None of this is visible when you simply look at the photo, but it travels along with the file wherever it's shared.
This tool reads that hidden metadata directly from your JPEG file and displays it in a readable table, so you can see exactly what information the photo is carrying before you share it. If you'd rather not share that data — particularly location information, which can reveal exactly where a photo was taken, including your home address if it was shot there — this tool can also generate a clean copy of the same photo with all metadata stripped out, leaving only the visual image data.
It's an important step for anyone posting personal photos publicly, since GPS metadata in a shared photo has been used to reveal a person's home address or daily routine without them realizing it was embedded in the file. Journalists, activists, and privacy-conscious individuals often strip metadata as standard practice before publishing images. Because both reading and removing metadata happen locally in your browser, the photo itself is never uploaded to a server.
