Image Metadata (EXIF) Viewer & Stripper
View the EXIF metadata embedded in a JPEG — camera make and model, exposure settings, and GPS coordinates when present — and download a copy with that metadata stripped before posting it publicly. Metadata is parsed and removed at the byte level, so the compressed image data is untouched and there’s no quality loss. Everything runs locally in your browser — the photo is never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
What metadata does the EXIF viewer show?
The EXIF viewer shows camera make and model, orientation, date taken, exposure time, f-number, ISO, focal length, and GPS coordinates when the photo contains them.
Why would I strip EXIF data from a photo before sharing it?
Stripping EXIF data removes the exact GPS coordinates that phones often embed in a photo, so posting it publicly afterward doesn’t leak where it was taken.
Does stripping EXIF metadata reduce image quality?
Stripping EXIF metadata does not reduce image quality — the metadata segment is removed at the byte level while the compressed pixel data is copied through untouched, so there’s no re-encoding.
Is my photo uploaded to view or strip its EXIF data?
No photo is uploaded — both reading and stripping the metadata happen locally in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
Does the EXIF viewer work on formats other than JPEG?
The EXIF viewer is built for JPEG, the format that most commonly carries EXIF metadata straight out of a camera or phone.
