View and Remove Image Metadata Online

Viewing and removing image metadata here is a two-step loop: drop the file, read what the page found, then strip it if you want. The page reads EXIF tags with the Canvas API inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device, and it lists the camera, lens, date taken, GPS coordinates, and exposure settings the photo carries. Files with no EXIF, such as screenshots and edited exports, show a clear "no metadata" note instead of an empty panel.

1. 1Drop or select a JPG, PNG, or WebP file. It is read locally and never uploaded.
2. 2Read the panel for the camera, lens, date taken, GPS coordinates, and exposure settings.
3. 3If nothing appears, the page shows a "no metadata" note because the file has none.
4. 4Click "Remove metadata" to re-encode a clean copy, then download it.

A photo straight from a camera carries far more than pixels. The tags below are the ones this page reads, and each is a small piece of how the shot was made. Screenshots and edited exports usually have none of these, which is why the panel can be empty on files that are not straight from a camera.

• Camera make and model, plus the lens, when the photo came from a real camera.
• Date and time taken, straight from the camera clock, for sorting a shoot.
• GPS coordinates, which pin the photo to a specific latitude and longitude.
• Exposure settings: shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and focal length.

Removing metadata is not a text edit. The "Remove metadata" action re-encodes the image through the Canvas API, and the fresh file it writes carries no EXIF, GPS, IPTC, or XMP tags while keeping the picture itself. The pixels stay at the same resolution with no visible change, but every hidden field is gone. For JPG and WebP output the re-encode is lossy, so keep the quality at 85% or higher; PNG output is lossless and preserves every pixel exactly.

• PNG output: lossless, so every pixel stays identical to the original, at the cost of a larger file.
• JPG output at 85% or higher: visually identical to the source with a much smaller file.
• WebP output at 85% or higher: smaller than JPG at the same visual quality, and it keeps transparency.

Everything on this page runs in your browser with the Canvas API, so the metadata is read locally and the file never leaves your device. That matters because EXIF data is often sensitive: GPS coordinates, camera serials, and timestamps are exactly the kind of detail you would not want passing through a third-party server. There is no upload, no account, and no queue, and the clean copy is ready to download the moment you click "Remove metadata". That local handling also keeps the metadata audit instant, since there is no upload to wait for.
