PhotoCut Studio

View and remove a photo's EXIF metadata

Free tool · No sign-up · Your image is never uploaded

Every photo you take with a phone or camera stores information you don't see, right inside the file: the device model, the exact date and time, and very often the GPS location where you took it. That's EXIF metadata, and it travels with the photo when you share it. This tool lets you see it and download a copy without it, free, and your photo never leaves the browser.

Why it matters (even if it doesn't seem to)

The most sensitive field is location. Many phones save GPS coordinates in every photo by default. That means a seemingly innocent photo — your pet, a meal, something you're selling — can carry your home address inside it. Post it to a social network, or send it through a channel that doesn't strip metadata, and you're sharing far more than you think.

What you'll see

How to remove the metadata

  1. Open the Data tab and upload the photo.
  2. Review what it carries (watch for the GPS warning).
  3. Tap "Download without metadata": the tool regenerates the image with no EXIF data and downloads the clean copy.
  4. Share that copy, not the original.

Genuinely private

Uploading your photo to someone else's server to protect your privacy would be a contradiction. So here, both reading the metadata and generating the clean copy happen in your own browser: the image is never uploaded anywhere.
