How to remove the location from a photo before sharing it
Check whether a photo gives away where it was taken, then strip the location or all hidden details without changing how the picture looks.

EXIF Viewer
See everything a photo says about itself: when it was taken, the phone or camera and lens, the exposure settings, and whether it gives away where you were. Then remove it all in one click if you want to.

You can also paste an image with Ctrl+V (⌘V on a Mac).
Your images stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
How to view the EXIF data of a photo
- Choose or drop a photo: JPG, HEIC, PNG, WebP and AVIF all work.
- Read its details: date and time, camera and lens, exposure, size and location.
- To share it without them, select “Remove all metadata” and download a clean copy.
Private by design
Most online image tools upload your pictures to their servers. This one doesn’t: EXIF Viewer runs entirely in your browser, so family photos, IDs, screenshots and client work never leave your device. It’s free, with no watermark and no limit on how many images you process, and you don’t need an account.
Questions
Why doesn't my photo show any EXIF data?
Many apps remove it. Screenshots never have it, and photos saved from social networks or messaging apps usually have it stripped. Some editing apps drop it too.
How accurate is the location?
It's the GPS position the phone recorded when the photo was taken, usually accurate to within 5–20 metres outdoors and less precise indoors.
Is my photo uploaded to read the data?
No. The details are read by this page, in your browser. Even the map link only opens if you select it.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Every tool runs in your web browser, so your images are read, changed and saved on your own device and never sent to LabAnvil or anyone else. Once the page has loaded, the tools even work offline.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Free, with no watermark, no daily limit, no account and no cap on file size beyond what your device's memory can handle.
