Free Online Image EXIF Viewer & Metadata Cleaner — Inspect Photos

View Camera EXIF & GPS Coordinates or Strip Metadata. Read camera parameters, ISO, shutter speed, GPS location coordinates, or strip EXIF tags from photos for privacy.

What is EXIF Viewer and what does it do?

The Image EXIF & Metadata Viewer / Cleaner is a privacy and photography tool that inspects, displays, and strips hidden EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata from JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and TIFF images.

Modern digital cameras and smartphones automatically embed exact GPS coordinates, camera models, serial numbers, and shooting timestamps into every photo. This tool lets you view all metadata or sanitize it completely before sharing.

  • View detailed camera settings: camera make/model, lens, focal length, aperture (f-stop), ISO, and shutter speed.
  • Inspect GPS location metadata with latitude, longitude, altitude, and a direct Google Maps preview link.
  • Display image technical properties: dimensions, color space, color profile, and file size.
  • One-click 'Strip All Metadata' button to download a clean, privacy-safe copy of your image without any personal data.
  • 100% private offline analysis using exifr and HTML5 Canvas with zero cloud uploads.

How does EXIF Viewer work?

exifr reads the binary byte markers of the uploaded photo file, extracting EXIF, GPS, IPTC, and XMP data blocks into structured JavaScript objects.

When sanitizing metadata, the image is re-drawn onto a clean HTML5 Canvas element and re-exported as a fresh image blob, completely discarding all ancillary metadata headers.

100% private: all processing happens locally in your browser using client-side WebAssembly, HTML5 Canvas, and modern Web APIs. Your files are never uploaded to any server.
