After you choose an image, the tool reads available Exif tags such as camera details, timestamps, and location-related fields, then shows them in a table. Maker notes, user comments, and thumbnails are skipped to keep the view focused.
The clean download is created by drawing the image onto a browser canvas and saving that rendered copy. This removes embedded metadata from the exported file while keeping the original file unchanged on your device.
Common questions and answers about this topic.
Exif is metadata that cameras and phones write into a photo automatically, such as the camera model, capture time, exposure settings, and — when location services are on — GPS coordinates. This tool reads those tags and lists them in a table so you can see exactly what a photo reveals about you.
Yes. Phones with location services enabled usually store GPS coordinates in the photo's Exif, so sharing the original file can reveal your home, workplace, or frequent places. Many social platforms strip Exif on upload, but files sent directly by message, email, or cloud drive usually keep it. Check the location-related fields here and download a clean copy before sharing.
The clean copy is created by redrawing the image in the browser and re-exporting it, so pixel dimensions stay the same. JPEG and WebP are re-encoded at high quality (0.95), which looks virtually identical but is not byte-identical; PNG re-export is lossless. Your original file is never modified — the download is a separate copy prefixed with clean_.
You can load one JPEG, PNG, WebP, or TIFF image at a time. Exif is most common in JPEG and TIFF photos. Clean downloads are available for JPEG, PNG, and WebP; TIFF metadata can be viewed, but browsers cannot reliably re-export a clean TIFF copy.
No. Both reading the Exif tags and creating the clean copy happen entirely in your browser; the photo never leaves your device. That makes the tool safe to use even with sensitive or private images.
Choose or drop an image into the tool and the available tags — camera details, timestamps, and location-related fields — appear in a table. MakerNote, UserComment, and embedded thumbnails are skipped to keep the view readable.
