EXIF Viewer
Inspect EXIF data and export a metadata-free copy
What is EXIF Viewer?
This EXIF viewer reads the camera model, capture time, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and GPS coordinates stored in a photo, warns you explicitly when location data is present, and can produce a Canvas-redrawn copy that carries no metadata at all. Both reading and stripping happen locally on your device.
How to use EXIF Viewer
- 1Choose a photo — JPEGs straight out of a camera or phone usually carry EXIF.
- 2Review the capture settings and check whether GPS coordinates are included.
- 3Before publishing the photo anywhere, download the metadata-free copy.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my image have no EXIF data?+
A few common reasons: PNG and WebP files rarely carry EXIF at all; social platforms strip it on upload; and screenshots, exports, and any round trip through an editor drop it too. This is good news — it means the image is already free of identifying information.
How sensitive is GPS data in photos?+
It records latitude and longitude to several decimal places, which is enough to pinpoint a specific building. Publishing a photo taken at home is effectively publishing your address. Stripping metadata before you share should be the default, not a special precaution.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?+
It involves one re-encode. The tool redraws the image as JPEG at quality 0.95, which is visually indistinguishable, but strictly speaking not lossless. For a truly lossless strip, use exiftool with the -all= option.
