What is EXIF Metadata?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) metadata is information embedded in photos by cameras and smartphones. It includes camera settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), the device model, date and time, and often GPS location coordinates.
While EXIF data is useful for organizing photos, it poses privacy risks when sharing images online. GPS coordinates reveal where the photo was taken, timestamps show when, and device information can identify the photographer.
This tool lets you inspect all EXIF fields in your photos and strip them before sharing. The image quality remains unchanged — only the hidden metadata is removed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information does EXIF data contain?
EXIF data can include camera make and model, date/time, exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), GPS coordinates, lens information, flash status, and software used for editing.
Is EXIF data a privacy risk?
Yes. GPS coordinates in EXIF data can reveal your exact location. Timestamps show when photos were taken. This information can be accessed by anyone who downloads your image.
Does removing EXIF data reduce image quality?
No. EXIF metadata is separate from the image pixel data. Removing it only strips the text-based metadata without affecting the image quality.
Do all images have EXIF data?
Most photos taken with smartphones and digital cameras contain EXIF data. Screenshots, computer-generated images, and images that have been processed may have little or no EXIF data.
