What does the Image Metadata Viewer do?

Photos from phones and cameras often contain EXIF metadata: camera make and model, lens, date and time taken, exposure settings, software used and, frequently, the exact GPS coordinates where the photo was taken. Anyone you share the original file with can read it.

This viewer reads EXIF from JPEG files locally and clearly warns when GPS data is present. “Download copy without metadata” re-encodes the image, which strips EXIF, GPS and camera information.

How to use the Image Metadata Viewer

  1. Choose a photo (JPEG files from phones and cameras usually contain EXIF).
  2. Review the metadata list and any GPS warning.
  3. Click “Download copy without metadata” to get a clean version for sharing.

Examples

Privacy check

A photo of your new car shows GPS coordinates of your home — strip metadata before posting it in a marketplace listing.

Common use cases

  • Protecting your location before sharing photos
  • Checking when and with what camera a photo was taken

  • Free with no account, no watermark and no usage limits.
  • Works on phones, tablets and desktops in any modern browser.

Limitations to know

  • Detailed EXIF reading is supported for JPEG; other formats show basic file information.

  • Removing metadata re-compresses JPEGs slightly (95% quality).

Frequently asked questions

Can metadata reveal my location?

Yes, if location services were on when the photo was taken. Check for GPS fields before sharing.

Does WhatsApp remove EXIF?

WhatsApp usually removes most metadata from photos sent normally, but files sent as documents keep it.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Metadata is read from the file in your browser.
