01
What is EXIF data, and why does it matter?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata that digital cameras and smartphones automatically embed inside an image file when a photo is taken. It can include the date and time, camera and lens model, and β if location services were on β the exact GPS coordinates of where the shot was taken. Posting a photo like this as-is on social media or a marketplace listing can unintentionally reveal your home address or other frequently visited places.

How does this tool remove EXIF data?
Method
Description
Re-encoding (this tool)
Draws the image onto a canvas and saves it as a brand-new file β every bit of the original metadata is gone.
Deleting individual tags
Removing specific tags one by one usually requires dedicated software and risks leaving some data behind by mistake.
This tool draws your image onto an HTML canvas and re-encodes it as JPEG, PNG, or WebP. Because the new file is built from pixel data alone, EXIF and all other metadata is never carried over β no need to hunt down and delete individual tags.
03
How are GPS coordinates displayed?
EXIF GPS tags store latitude and longitude as degrees-minutes-seconds fractions. This tool converts them into a human-readable decimal coordinate and shows it as plain text only β no map link is generated. Since the coordinate text itself already reveals the location, it's best not to share a photo publicly if it triggers the GPS warning.
No. Both reading and removing EXIF data happen entirely inside your browser, and the image is never sent anywhere.
Can I check EXIF on PNG or WebP photos too?
EXIF is primarily stored in JPEG files. Other formats like PNG or WebP can still be uploaded, but they usually don't contain EXIF, in which case you'll see "No EXIF data was found."
If no GPS data shows up, is the photo safe to share?
It means no GPS coordinates were found in that photo's EXIF. Keep in mind the location could still be inferred from other clues, like the filename or visible background details, which this tool doesn't check.
Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?
Re-encoding through canvas can introduce a small amount of compression loss for JPEG/WebP, controlled by the quality slider. Saving as PNG is lossless but may result in a larger file.
