UlvixorEXIF Data Viewer & Remover
Upload a JPEG photo and instantly see its EXIF metadata: camera model, capture date, orientation, and, if present, the exact GPS location where it was taken. Then download an identical copy with that data removed, without recompressing the image.
How it works
- Select a JPEG photo from your device using the file picker.
- The tool reads the file's EXIF (APP1) segment and shows the metadata it finds in a readable list.
- If the photo includes GPS coordinates, a prominent notice is shown along with the exact latitude and longitude.
- A copy of the file with the EXIF segment removed is generated automatically, stripping only those metadata bytes without recompressing the image.
- Download the cleaned photo with one click.
Use cases
- Check whether a photo you're about to post reveals your exact GPS location before uploading it.
- Verify which camera or phone took a photo and on what date.
- Strip metadata before sharing photos with clients, on social media, or in a public portfolio.
- Quickly audit the metadata of photos received from third parties.
Common mistakes
- Uploading a PNG or WebP image expecting to see EXIF data.The EXIF format, as implemented by this tool, is specific to JPEG files. PNG and WebP typically don't include this kind of camera metadata.
- Thinking that removing EXIF also recompresses or reduces the photo's quality.The tool only removes the metadata segment from the original file; the image's pixels are never decoded or re-encoded, so visual quality stays exactly the same.
- Assuming a photo with no visible GPS metadata in this tool reveals no location information at all.This tool only reads the standard EXIF segment. Some platforms already strip EXIF on upload, and others may associate location through other means (server-side metadata, place recognition); also check the privacy settings of wherever you publish it.
Frequently asked questions
No. Both reading the metadata and generating the EXIF-free copy happen entirely in your browser. The photo is never sent to any server.
No. The tool copies the image bytes as-is, removing only the EXIF metadata segment; the visual content is never decoded or re-encoded, so quality is identical to the original.
The tool clearly states this instead of showing an empty list with no explanation; this is normal for screenshots, edited images, or photos that already passed through a platform that strips metadata.
Not directly; this tool reads the EXIF format inside JPEG files. First convert the HEIC to JPG with this site's HEIC to JPG/PNG Converter, then analyze the result here.
Alternatives
On Windows you can view some metadata via right-click → Properties → Details, and that same panel lets you remove specific properties. This tool is handy when you want to view and strip the full EXIF data from any system, without opening file properties or uploading the photo to an external service.
