EXIF Viewer & Remover

What is EXIF Data?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data is a set of information, or metadata, that is automatically embedded into image files by digital cameras, smartphones, and other recording devices. This data can include a wealth of information you might not be aware you're sharing.

Common types of EXIF data include:

• Location: GPS coordinates where the photo was taken.
• Date and Time: The exact date and time the photo was captured.
• Camera Information: The make and model of the camera or smartphone.
• Camera Settings: Technical details like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length, and whether the flash was used.
• Device Software: The software version of the camera or phone.

Why is Viewing and Removing EXIF Data Important?

While EXIF data can be useful for organizing your photos, it also poses a significant privacy risk. When you share photos online—on social media, forums, or blogs—you could be unintentionally sharing sensitive personal information.

• Protect Your Location: Sharing a photo with embedded GPS data can reveal your home address, workplace, or other frequently visited locations.
• Maintain Anonymity: Revealing the exact make and model of your device can be used to build a profile about you.
• Control Your Information: By viewing and removing EXIF data, you take control of what information you share with the world.

Our EXIF Viewer and Remover tool empowers you to see exactly what hidden data your images contain and gives you the option to create a "clean" version of your photo with all this metadata stripped out.
