Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF metadata?
EXIF is extra data embedded inside photo files by cameras and phones. It can include the camera make and model, lens, shutter speed, ISO, the exact date and time, and — often — the GPS location where the shot was taken.
Why does my photo contain a GPS location?
Most phones geotag photos by default, writing your precise latitude and longitude into the file. Anyone you share the original with can read it, which is a real privacy risk. Use “Download without metadata” to strip it.
How do I remove metadata from a photo?
Click Download without metadata. The tool redraws your image on a canvas and re-exports it — a process that discards all EXIF tags, giving you a clean copy that looks identical but carries no hidden data.
Is my photo uploaded to read its metadata?
No. The photo is read and parsed entirely in your browser. It never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded or stored, so even the GPS data in it stays completely private.
