What a photo tells everyone you send it to — camera, settings, and often the exact place it was taken.

How to use
- Drop a photo straight off a camera or a phone.
- Check the location panel first — it is the field with consequences.
- Read the camera and exposure settings underneath.
- To strip the metadata, re-save the image with the image optimiser: it writes a clean file.
Features
- Exif from JPEG files, in either byte order.
- GPS coordinates converted to decimal degrees, with a map link.
- Camera, lens, exposure, aperture, ISO and the original date.
- Says plainly when a file carries no metadata, and why that might be.
- Runs entirely in your browser — the photo is never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
- Does my photo really contain my location?
- If it came off a phone with location services enabled for the camera, very likely yes — to about five metres. It survives being emailed, put in a shared drive, or uploaded to a site that does not strip it. Most social networks do strip it on upload; direct file sharing does not, which is the case worth checking.
- How do I remove it?
- Re-encode the image. Opening it in the image optimiser here and saving the result writes a fresh file with no Exif block — the pixels survive, the metadata does not. On a phone, sharing "without location data" where the option exists does the same thing.
- Why does this photo have no metadata at all?
- Something removed it. Screenshots never had any, messaging apps strip it, and most image editors drop it on export unless told otherwise. An empty result is normal for a file that has been through any of those.
