View and Remove EXIF Metadata From Photos
Photos can carry hidden details such as the camera model, the date and time, and the GPS coordinates of where they were taken. See exactly what's inside, then save a clean copy with the metadata removed, all on your own device.
Your image is processed by your own browser and never uploaded. Many online editors send your photo to their servers and delete it later — this one never receives it at all.

EXIF Viewer & Cleaner: frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data?
EXIF is metadata that cameras and phones write into photo files. It can include the device make and model, lens and exposure settings, the date and time, and often the GPS coordinates where the picture was taken. It's invisible when you view the photo, but anyone who gets the original file can read it.
How do I remove location data from a photo?
Drop the photo into the EXIF tool and click Remove All Metadata. ImageSpark cuts the metadata out of the file itself, so GPS coordinates, timestamps and camera details are gone while the picture stays identical. Share the cleaned copy rather than the original, and keep the original if you want its information for yourself.
Does stripping metadata reduce image quality?
No. For JPG, PNG and WebP files the metadata is removed without re-encoding the image, so every pixel stays exactly the same and transparency is kept. The orientation flag is preserved, so the photo still displays the right way up.
Do social media sites remove EXIF data?
Many large platforms strip some or all metadata when you post a photo, but practices differ and change over time. Messaging apps, email and file-sharing links often send the original file untouched. Removing metadata yourself before sharing is the only way to be sure what leaves your device.
Can I view the metadata without removing it?
Yes. As soon as you drop a photo in, ImageSpark lists the metadata fields it finds, such as the camera model, capture date and GPS position. Nothing changes until you click Remove All Metadata, so you can use the tool purely as an EXIF viewer to check what a photo reveals.
Is my photo uploaded to read or remove EXIF data?
No. Both reading and removing metadata happen in your browser on your own device. That matters here more than anywhere: the whole point is to keep details like your location private, so the original photo, GPS coordinates included, is never sent to ImageSpark or anyone else.
