EXIF Viewer and Remover does two jobs: it reads out the metadata hidden in a photo — camera make and model, lens, focal length and equivalent focal length, aperture, shutter, ISO, exposure compensation, capture time, software, pixel dimensions and GPS latitude and longitude — and it strips that information completely from a batch of photos before they are shared. Parsing uses exifr to read the original file directly (HEIC is read from the original file before any transcoding) and supports TIFF, EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, JFIF and PNG header segments. Processing happens locally in the browser and photos are never uploaded.

The removal works by redrawing and re-encoding on a canvas: the pixel content is kept and no metadata segment is written back, so it is an “all clear” — GPS cannot be deleted while the rest is kept.

1. 01Add imagesdrag in one or several, and each starts parsing; click “View” in the file list to switch which one is displayed.
2. 02Read the summarythe “Metadata” card lists the common shooting parameters; when GPS is present a yellow note appears — “contains GPS location: latitude, longitude (worth removing before sharing)” — together with a link to a map service.
3. 03See every fieldclick “Show all N fields” for the raw key-value table sorted by name, where binary fields are shown as a byte count.
4. 04Removeclick “Remove metadata from all N images” to re-encode each one; the result is named <original name>_no-metadata.<ext> with the note “metadata removed”, and can be packaged as a zip.

Supported input

JPG / PNG / WebP / GIF / BMP / AVIF / HEIC / TIF / TIFF; the output keeps the original format (GIF, BMP, TIFF and HEIC become PNG or JPG), with JPG quality 0.95.

Removal is total

EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC and ICC profiles are all discarded, and the location cannot be removed while camera information is kept; an image with an ICC profile may shift slightly in colour.

Orientation

the EXIF Orientation tag is dropped, and the browser has already straightened the image by it, so the output direction matches the preview.

Size

the file size changes after re-encoding, and the quality is essentially lossless to the eye but not lossless at the byte level.

What it does not do

it does not edit or forge metadata, does not write copyright fields, and does not read PDF metadata (use “PDF Metadata” for that).

Metadata parsing and removal both happen locally in the browser, and neither the photo nor its GPS coordinates are uploaded to any server; the map links on the page only open a third-party map site when you click them yourself.
