What your photos say about you
Most phone photos carry EXIF metadata: the camera model, exposure settings, the date and time and, very often, the precise GPS coordinates where the picture was taken. Sharing the original file can reveal your home address to anyone who looks.
This tool reads EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC and PNG text data and shows it in plain language. One click then saves a clean copy with the metadata stripped. For JPG, PNG and WebP the picture data is copied byte for byte, so there is no quality loss — and the photo keeps its correct rotation.

Share safely
We re-check the new file and confirm what (if anything) remains.

Common uses
- Selling online: Remove the location from product photos taken at home before listing them.
- Sharing with strangers: Clean photos before posting them on forums or sending them to people you don't know.
- Checking a photo: See when and with which camera an image was taken.
Tips and good to know
- Many social networks strip GPS data when you upload, but email, cloud links, messaging apps sent “as a file” and many websites do not.
- Screenshots usually contain little metadata; camera photos contain the most.
- Detailed EXIF reading is available for JPG, PNG and WebP. Other formats show basic file information and are cleaned by redrawing them as PNG.
