EXIF Metadata Viewer

Every photo carries an invisible dossier with it - camera model, lens, aperture, capture date and often the exact GPS location. The EXIF viewer makes that hidden metadata visible, tells you which parts leak your privacy, and strips them out with a single click when you want.

What EXIF Metadata Viewer does

When you take a photo, your camera or phone writes far more into the file than just the pixels. The EXIF data holds the make and model, the lens used, focal length, aperture, ISO, shutter speed and the exact moment of capture. Phone photos almost always add the GPS location too, sometimes accurate to a few metres. The EXIF viewer reads all of it and lays it out neatly so you know what is inside your images.

Beyond the classic EXIF fields, the tool also shows IPTC data (title, description, creator, copyright), XMP metadata and the embedded ICC colour profile. At a glance you can tell whether an image is stored as sRGB or in a wider gamut like Adobe RGB, and who is listed as the author. Handy when you need to clear image rights or check print data.

The most important part is the privacy check. Before you post a photo online, send it by email or upload it to an authority, you want to know whether your home address sits in the GPS tag or your camera serial number is coming along for the ride. The tool flags exactly the fields that can expose you and explains in plain language why they matter. No jargon, just an honest read.

When you want the metadata gone, you strip it right here. The tool writes a cleaned copy with no EXIF, no GPS and no camera fingerprints, while the image quality stays untouched. So you can share a photo without revealing which device took it, when and where.

The batch comparison is useful too: load several images and see side by side which metadata they carry. You quickly spot whether an entire photo series still has GPS tags or whether an edited version lost its provenance. For photographers, bloggers and anyone managing lots of images, that saves a heap of manual checking.

Processing runs server-side so even large, near-RAW files and unusual formats are read cleanly. Your images are processed only for the analysis and are not stored permanently. No sharing with third parties, no tracking - just the metadata your photo already contains, made readable for you.

Frequently asked questions

What is EXIF data exactly?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is extra information that cameras and smartphones automatically write into a photo: camera model, lens, aperture, ISO, shutter speed, capture date and often the GPS location. It is invisible but present in every file.

Can someone read my address from a photo?

If your phone has location services enabled for the camera, the GPS tag often holds the exact spot of the shot, which for photos at home means your address. The EXIF viewer shows this and removes the tag on request before you share the image.

Does removing metadata reduce image quality?

No. Cleaning only removes the metadata blocks from the file, the pixels stay identical. You get the same image at the same quality, just without the hidden extra information.

Which formats can I upload?

Common photo formats like JPG, PNG, HEIC and TIFF are supported. Because the analysis runs server-side, larger files and formats with extensive metadata are read cleanly too.

Are my photos stored?

No. Your images are processed only for the analysis and are not kept afterwards. There is no tracking and no sharing with third parties.

Why do some photos have no GPS info at all?

Because location services for the camera were off, the photo came from a messenger app (which strips a lot of metadata) or it was already edited and re-exported. Missing GPS data is a good sign from a privacy point of view.
