About this EXIF viewer & stripper

Inspect or remove image metadata (EXIF, XMP, IPTC, color profile) in your browser. JPEG and PNG files are parsed and rewritten locally; pixel data is preserved bit-for-bit.

What is EXIF?

EXIF is metadata embedded inside JPEG (in an APP1 marker) or PNG (in an eXIf chunk). It can include the camera make/model, lens, exposure settings, software, and — by default on most phones — GPS coordinates.

Privacy model

Photos shared online often retain GPS, serial numbers, and editing history. We strip everything by default unless you opt into keeping a specific field. Files never leave your device.

Strip strategy

JPEG: walk the markers, drop APP1/2/12/13/14/15 + COM (or selectively keep ICC), keep SOI/SOF/DQT/DHT/SOS/EOI and image data. PNG: walk the chunks, drop eXIf/tEXt/iTXt/zTXt/tIME (and optionally iCCP), keep IHDR/PLTE/IDAT/IEND. Pixels are byte-identical.

FAQ

Is the image quality affected?: No. We rewrite container markers/chunks but never touch the compressed pixel data, so the result is byte-identical to a re-saved file with metadata removed.
Why is GPS hidden by default?: Many photos posted online accidentally include exact location. We hide it behind an explicit reveal so you can decide what to share.
Are HEIC and WebP supported?: Not in this version. WebP and TIFF are on the roadmap; HEIC/HEIF need a different parser and are not planned for v1.
Are my files uploaded?: No. Reading, parsing, and rewriting all happen in the browser via FileReader and Blob APIs.
