Remove EXIF Data Online - Clear Photo Metadata & GPS from JPGs
Drag photos here (JPG/JPEG only)
JPG/JPEG files only (EXIF data is stored only in this format)Are you sharing photos on social media, selling items on marketplaces, or sending work documents? It’s quite possible that with every image, you are unknowingly sending a piece of your privacy. Digital photographs in JPG/JPEG format do not only contain the visual image, but also a hidden data file called EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format).
Our online EXIF Viewer & Remover is a comprehensive tool that allows you to uncover and batch remove this hidden data. Within seconds, you can clean hundreds of photos, download them in a single ZIP archive, and ensure your data is safe.
What is EXIF metadata and why should you care?
When you press the shutter button on your camera or mobile phone, the device writes a huge amount of technical information to the file. While useful for archiving, when published online, they pose a security risk.
Metadata can contain information about when exactly you took the photo, what device you used, and worst of all – where exactly you were standing (GPS coordinates).
Risk Overview: What do your photos reveal about you?
Take a look at the table to see what information strangers can glean from your uncleaned photos:
| Type of EXIF data | Example Value | What it reveals (Risk/Significance) |
|---|---|---|
| GPS Coordinates | 50.0755° N, 14.4378° E | Biggest risk. Reveals the exact location of your home, work, or your children’s school with meter accuracy. |
| Date and Time | 2023:10:24 14:35:12 | Reveals your daily routine or confirms your presence at a specific location at a particular time. |
| Device Model | iPhone 15 Pro Max | Information for thieves. States that you own expensive electronics. |
| Serial Number | SN: 123456789 | A unique identifier for your camera. Can link various photos online to your identity. |
| Exposure Settings | ISO 100, f/1.8, 1/200s | Useful for photographers, but can reveal your “know-how” and shooting techniques to competitors. |
| Thumbnail | Binary Data | Sometimes the file contains a small preview of the original photo. Even if you crop a sensitive part from a large photo, the original uncropped version might remain in the EXIF data’s thumbnail! |
