See everything your photos reveal - camera settings, GPS location, IPTC, XMP and ICC data - in JPG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, TIFF and RAW files. Then remove the metadata you do not want to share, losslessly. For a quality check of a JPG, the JPG Analyzer goes deeper, and camera RAW pictures open in the RAW Viewer.

Shortcuts: Ctrl + O open, Ctrl + V paste a photo, Esc leaves full screen.
Camera, lens, exposure, date, location and image size in plain words - no tag names needed.
GPS coordinates, altitude and viewing direction, with an OpenStreetMap link that only opens when you click it.
Flags GPS positions, serial numbers, owner names, author details and editing history before you share a photo.
Strip everything or only what you choose from JPG, PNG and WebP without touching a single pixel - for one photo or a batch.
EXIF, GPS, maker notes, IPTC, XMP, ICC, MPF, JFIF and PNG text, with a filter box and tag IDs.
Open several photos and see their settings side by side, with differences highlighted.
Pull out the embedded thumbnail and previews - sometimes they still show what was cropped out.
Everything runs in your browser. Not even the GPS position leaves your device.
A photo file carries more than the picture.
Before you post or send an original, check what is inside - and remove what you would not say out loud.
| Data | Where it comes from | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| GPS location | Phones and GPS cameras | Can point to your home, school or workplace |
| Date and time | Every camera | Shows when you were somewhere, to the second |
| Serial numbers | Most cameras and lenses | Links photos from different sites to one camera |
| Owner and author | Camera settings, editing apps | Your real name, even on an anonymous account |
| Edit history | Photoshop, Lightroom and others | Which apps and computers touched the file |
| Thumbnail | Cameras and some editors | May still show the uncropped original |
Most social networks strip this data when you upload, but email, chat apps that send files, cloud links and your own website usually do not. Cleaning a photo here takes a second; to also shrink it for sharing, follow up with Compress JPG or the Image Resizer.
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) dates from 1995 and is written by nearly every camera and phone.
It stores tags in a TIFF-style directory inside the photo, next to the picture data.
IPTC adds captions, keywords and credits for newsrooms, and XMP is Adobe's flexible XML format that can carry all of it plus edit history. The ICC profile describes the colours - keep it, it holds nothing personal.
Looking at other files? The TIFF Viewer handles scans and multi-page files, and all file viewers cover many more formats.
EXIF is the information a camera or phone writes into a photo: camera model, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, date and time, and often the GPS location. Editing apps add their own name and history.
You can not see it in the picture, but anyone who gets the original file can read it.
Open the photo, go to Remove metadata, choose Remove everything or pick what to drop (GPS, camera and serial numbers, software, author, dates, thumbnail), then download the cleaned copy.
JPG, PNG and WebP are cleaned losslessly - the pixels stay exactly the same. Several photos can be cleaned at once.
If the camera or phone saved a GPS position, the Location card shows the coordinates, altitude and the direction the camera faced, with a link to the spot on OpenStreetMap.
The coordinates are read in your browser - the map only opens if you click the link.
JPG, HEIC and HEIF, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF and GIF, plus camera RAW files: CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG, ORF, RW2, RAF, PEF and SRW.
Metadata is read from all of them. Lossless cleaning works for JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and AVIF - the picture is not re-compressed. GIF is re-saved without metadata. For the full RAW picture, use the RAW Viewer.
EXIF is written by the camera: settings, date and GPS. IPTC is the older newsroom standard for captions, keywords, credits and copyright.
XMP is Adobe's modern format that can hold all of the above plus editing history. The ICC profile is not about you at all - it tells apps how to show the colours correctly.
The Image card shows the resolution stored in the file (from EXIF, JFIF or the PNG pHYs chunk) and the print size it gives. Most cameras store 72 PPI, print files usually 300.
PPI is only a hint for printing - it does not change the pixels. To change the size, use the Image Resizer.
Screenshots, images saved from social networks and messaging apps, and files exported "for web" usually carry no EXIF - those services strip it for privacy. Some phones also turn location off by default.
The viewer still shows whatever is left, such as the ICC profile, PNG text or the image size. For a deeper look at a JPG, try the JPG Analyzer.
No. Reading and cleaning happen in your browser, in a background worker. The photo, its GPS position and its serial numbers never leave your device.
Nothing is stored unless you turn on Remember recent files, which keeps them in this browser only.
