Image Metadata Viewer – Read and Remove EXIF Data from Photos
Image metadata is the hidden data stored inside photo files that records shooting conditions, camera identity, and location. EXIF data is written automatically by every digital camera and smartphone — often without the photographer's awareness. A JPEG shared on a forum can reveal the GPS coordinates of where it was taken, the exact time, and the camera serial number, all invisibly embedded in the file.
This tool serves a dual purpose: it displays all metadata fields in a clear, readable format (EXIF, IPTC, XMP) so you can understand what's embedded, and it also provides a one-click option to strip all metadata and download a clean copy. The clean version is pixel-identical to the original — only the metadata block is removed. Useful for privacy-conscious sharing, editorial image submission, and preparing images for public distribution. No server upload — all processing is local.
