Free exif metadata viewer & remover in your browser

Inspect common EXIF fields before sharing a photo. Location coordinates are highlighted because they can reveal where an image was captured.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose the photo you plan to share.
  2. Review camera, capture, editing software, and GPS fields found in the file.
  3. Download a re-rendered copy with embedded metadata removed.
Privacy: Processing happens with browser APIs. The selected image is not sent to Mend Pixels or a third-party image service.

Important limits

The clean copy is re-encoded, which removes common EXIF, IPTC, and XMP blocks but may slightly change file size or JPEG quality. Keep the original if archival metadata matters.

Frequently asked questions

What is EXIF metadata?

EXIF is information stored inside many photo files, including camera model, capture settings, dates, editing software, and sometimes GPS coordinates.

Does removing EXIF change the visible image?

The tool re-renders the pixels into a new file. The visible image should remain the same, though lossy JPEG re-encoding can introduce a small quality change.

Is the metadata sent anywhere?

No. The open-source exifr parser reads the selected file inside your browser, and the clean copy is produced locally.
