Step 1
Add images
Drop or browse for images. Metadata is read locally as files are added.

Step 2
Choose cleaning options
Re-encoding drops ICC color profiles, so some images may show a slight color change.

EXIF and camera data
See camera, lens, exposure, ISO, date taken, and orientation fields.
Location privacy hint
GPS coordinates get a map shortcut; cleaning removes them from the output.
Local batch processing
exifr reads JPEG, TIFF, PNG, HEIC, AVIF, and more without uploading images.
Privacy first
Reading and re-encoding happen in your browser. Cleaned files are not uploaded or stored in the cloud.
Image metadata guide
Supported image formats
Read common EXIF, GPS, XMP, ICC, IPTC, and JFIF fields from photos, scans, and web images. Available fields depend on what the original file contains.
PNG
Dimensions plus text, software, and color-related fields when present.
TIFF
Useful for scans, print assets, and photography archives.
HEIC / HEIF
Inspect iPhone photos and export a cleaned browser-compatible copy.
AVIF / WebP
Inspect embedded metadata when the modern web image contains it.
How to view and remove image metadata
Inspect what a file exposes, then choose whether to clean it. The workflow stays in this browser.
- 01
Add images
Drop one or more files or browse your device. The page reads dimensions, camera data, GPS, and available fields.
- 02
Review the report
Open an image card to inspect the summary and raw tags, including a warning when GPS coordinates are present.
- 03
Clean and export
Choose orientation and copyright options, remove metadata in batches, then download images or JSON reports.
Common use cases
Metadata affects privacy, compatibility, and archive workflows—not just technical inspection.
Protect location privacy before publishing
Photos may reveal GPS coordinates, device model, and capture time when shared publicly.
Deliver client or design assets
Check author, copyright, software, and color fields before sending source images.
Organize photo and scan archives
Use dates, dimensions, and camera fields to confirm sources and create JSON indexes.
Fix orientation and compatibility
Inspect Orientation when a phone photo rotates unexpectedly, then bake the visual orientation into pixels.
Privacy by design
Images are read from your device. EXIF parsing and re-encoding run in the browser without uploading files to a server. Exported images and JSON reports are saved directly to your device.
FAQ
Image metadata FAQ
What is EXIF?
EXIF is extra information written by cameras and phones, such as capture time, lens, focal length, aperture, ISO, orientation, and GPS.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
Cleaning re-encodes the image, so file size or quality can change slightly. ICC color profiles may not be preserved.
Can I keep the photo orientation?
Yes. The default option bakes visual orientation into pixels so the photo stays upright in more software.
Why is GPS or camera data missing?
The original file must contain those fields. Screenshots and platform-processed images often do not.
How many images can I process?
Up to 50 images per batch, with a 50 MB limit per file. Parsing concurrency is limited to keep the browser responsive.
