What EXIF data is
Every photo your phone or camera takes carries hidden metadata: the date and time, camera and lens, exposure settings — and often the exact GPS coordinates where it was taken. That's useful for organising photos, but risky when you share images publicly.
View what's in your photo
- Open the EXIF Viewer and upload an image.
- Review the camera details, timestamps and any location data it contains.
Remove it before sharing
The simplest way to strip metadata is to re-save the image, which drops the EXIF block:
- Run it through the Image Compressor or the Image Converter and use the fresh output.
Most social platforms strip EXIF on upload, but files you send directly (email, chat, cloud links) usually keep it — so remove it first if privacy matters.

Reading and re-saving happen in your browser — your photos are never uploaded.
