EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata automatically embedded in photos by cameras and phones. It includes GPS coordinates, camera model, date and time, exposure settings, and sometimes a thumbnail of the original image.

Do my photos contain my location?

Most likely, yes. If your phone's location services are enabled for the camera app (which they are by default on most devices), every photo you take has your exact GPS coordinates embedded in it.

How do I remove metadata from a photo?

Upload your photo and click Download Clean Copy. The tool re-renders the image through an HTML canvas element, which strips all embedded metadata. It works with JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and HEIF files. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.

Why this matters

Your photos know where you live

Most phone cameras embed GPS coordinates by default. Share a photo of your pet at home and you've just broadcast your address to anyone who checks the file.

Camera model narrows you down

The make, model, and even the serial number of your camera or phone can link photos back to a single device. Handy for forensics, not great for your privacy.

Timestamps give away your routine

Every photo records when it was taken, when it was last edited, and your timezone. A handful of photos from different days is enough to piece together your daily schedule.
