EXIF privacy

Remove EXIF metadata without uploading your photo

Photos can contain camera settings, timestamps, editing notes, orientation data, and sometimes location information. This tool checks only for common metadata markers, never exposes location values, and creates a fresh image from the visible pixels.

Useful for

When this focused workflow helps

Preparing personal photos for public posting
Removing unnecessary camera and editing details
Creating a clean delivery copy while keeping the original untouched

Know the boundaries

Honest limitations

The marker check does not provide a complete forensic metadata inventory.
Re-encoding removes common embedded metadata but keeps technical format data required to open the file.
File-size changes reflect both metadata removal and the browser encoder.

Questions, answered plainly

EXIF privacy questions

Does the tool show GPS coordinates?

No. It only reports the possible presence of common metadata groups and avoids displaying sensitive location values.

How is metadata removed?

The browser decodes the visibly oriented pixels and writes a new image rather than copying the original metadata blocks.

Should I keep my original photo?

Yes. Use the cleaned file as a sharing copy and retain the original when capture information may matter later.
