What Photo Metadata Reveals and How to Remove It

What is hidden inside a photo?

Most photos carry EXIF metadata added by the camera or phone. It can include the device make and model, the lens, the date and time the photo was taken, the software used, and, if location services were on, the GPS coordinates of where you were standing.

Why you might want to remove it

GPS coordinates in a photo taken at home can reveal your address to anyone who downloads the file. Timestamps and device details can also say more about you than you intend. Removing metadata before you share an image is a simple privacy habit.

How this tool works

The tool first reads the metadata so you can see exactly what your photo contains. It then redraws the image onto a blank canvas and saves a fresh copy. Metadata is not carried over in that process, so the new file contains the picture only. The image looks the same, because only the hidden data is dropped.

Do platforms strip it for me?

Some social networks remove location data when you upload, but you should not rely on it, especially for email attachments, files sent directly, forum posts and marketplace listings. Cleaning the file yourself first is safer.

Nothing is uploaded

Reading and removing metadata happens entirely in your browser. Your photos, and the private details inside them, never leave your device.
