EXIF Metadata Viewer & Remover

This EXIF metadata viewer shows the information your camera or phone saves inside every photo: make and model, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, the date and time it was taken and — often — the exact GPS coordinates where you were standing. Drop in a JPEG, PNG or WebP file and the tags are decoded on the spot, with a map link for any location found.

The remover then creates a clean copy with that metadata stripped, so you can share photos online, sell items or send pictures to strangers without revealing your home address or device details. For JPEG and PNG files the image data is copied byte-for-byte, so there is no loss of quality; the orientation flag is kept so the picture stays the right way up. Everything happens locally in your browser — your photos are never uploaded.

EXIF stores GPS positions as degrees, minutes and seconds plus a hemisphere letter. The calculator below converts those values into the decimal coordinates that map apps use, which is handy when a photo tool or forum shows only the raw DMS numbers.

EXIF records GPS latitude and longitude in the GPS IFD as three rational numbers — degrees, minutes and seconds — with separate GPSLatitudeRef and GPSLongitudeRef tags holding N/S and E/W. To get decimal degrees, add the minutes divided by 60 and the seconds divided by 3,600, then make the value negative for the southern or western hemisphere.

The viewer reads the TIFF-structured EXIF block from a JPEG APP1 segment, a PNG eXIf chunk or a WebP EXIF chunk, follows the pointers to the Exif and GPS sub-directories and decodes each tag according to its data type. Stripping removes the EXIF, XMP, IPTC and comment segments (or text chunks in PNG) while copying the compressed image data unchanged.
