View & Remove Image EXIF Metadata

Quick answer: View and remove EXIF metadata from photos — camera details, GPS coordinates, timestamps. Open 图片元数据 — everything runs locally in your browser, and files never leave your device.

Steps

1. Upload the image to the Metadata tool.
2. Review the EXIF fields: camera, settings, GPS location, date.
3. Choose to strip metadata before sharing, or download as-is.

Important notes

• Phone photos embed GPS by default — strip location before posting pictures of your home, workplace, or kids' school publicly.
• Stripping metadata does not re-compress the visible image; quality is unchanged.
• Social platforms usually strip EXIF on upload, but direct file sharing (email, chat) does not.

Common questions

Can I edit metadata instead of removing it? Some fields can be edited; removal is the reliable privacy option.

Does PNG have EXIF? Rarely — EXIF is mostly a JPEG/TIFF/HEIC feature.

Pro tips

Think of metadata removal in risk tiers. GPS coordinates are the tier-one privacy risk — they locate a home, a school run, a hotel room — and stripping them before any public share should be automatic. Camera and lens data is harmless professionally but identifies your equipment to strangers. Copyright and author fields are the tier you may actually want to keep, or even add, for your own work. Social platforms re-compress and strip most metadata anyway; email and file-sharing services strip nothing, so the risk lives in direct sharing.

Does a screenshot contain metadata? Almost none — screenshots are new renders, not the original file; that is why "screenshot the photo" is folk wisdom for stripping metadata.
