Common uses

  • Checking whether a photo you're about to share reveals your location or device
  • Stripping GPS and camera data from photos before posting them publicly
  • Seeing when and with what camera a photo was actually taken

Supported formats and limitations

Accepts JPG or PNG, up to one file at a time.

  • Supports JPEG and PNG, the two formats that realistically carry camera EXIF data — other formats aren't supported.
  • Metadata is removed by deleting the metadata segments directly from the file, not by re-encoding the image, so the actual picture data is untouched — pixel-for-pixel identical, not recompressed.
  • One file at a time, up to 25 MB.

Frequently asked questions

Whatever EXIF data the file actually contains — commonly camera make/model, date taken, exposure settings, and GPS location. Many photos, especially ones already shared online, have little or none left.

That's shown clearly rather than left blank or confusing — it means this particular file simply doesn't carry any EXIF data.
