Remove metadata, not just read it

Strip EXIF, GPS and all metadata from JPEG, PNG and WebP photos, then download a clean copy. It's lossless - the image itself is untouched, only the hidden data is removed, and it runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. Drop a file above, then click Remove metadata & download.

Free EXIF tools

View metadata by file format:

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is the metadata your camera embeds in every shot, exposure settings, lens, GPS coordinates, timestamps and more. ExifGrabber reads it all directly in your browser, so your images are never uploaded anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

What is EXIF data?+

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in photos by your camera or smartphone. It records details like camera make and model, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, date and time, GPS coordinates, and more. This information is stored inside the image file itself and travels with it unless intentionally removed.

How do I view EXIF data in a photo?+

Drop any photo or RAW file into ExifGrabber and the full EXIF metadata is displayed instantly. No software to install, no account to create, it works entirely in your browser. You can also view basic metadata through your operating system's file properties, but dedicated tools like ExifGrabber show far more detail and organize it clearly.

What file formats does ExifGrabber support?+

ExifGrabber reads EXIF data from JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, HEIC, and all major RAW formats including Canon CR2 and CR3, Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, Fujifilm RAF, Olympus ORF, Panasonic RW2, Pentax PEF, Samsung SRW, and Adobe DNG. Files up to 100 MB are supported.

Do all photos contain EXIF data?+

Most photos taken with a digital camera or smartphone include EXIF data, but not all. Some image formats like GIF don't support it. Social media platforms and messaging apps often strip EXIF data when you upload or send photos. Metadata can also be intentionally removed with editing software.

Does ExifGrabber upload my photos to a server?+

No. ExifGrabber processes everything locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your image files never leave your device, no data is uploaded, stored, or transmitted to any server. This makes it safe to use with private or sensitive photos.

Can I find where a photo was taken using EXIF data?+

Yes, if the camera or phone had GPS enabled when the photo was taken. ExifGrabber extracts GPS coordinates and displays the exact location on an interactive map, with one-click links to open the location in Google Maps or Apple Maps. Many smartphones record GPS by default, while most standalone cameras require a GPS module or connected phone.

What camera settings are stored in EXIF data?+

EXIF data typically includes aperture (f-stop), shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, focal length, metering mode, exposure compensation, flash status, white balance, and exposure program. Some cameras also record lens serial number, shutter count, firmware version, and color profile. The exact fields vary by camera make and model.

Can EXIF data be edited or faked?+

Yes, EXIF metadata can be modified with specialized software. The data is not cryptographically signed on most consumer cameras, so fields like date, location, and camera model can be changed after the fact. EXIF data should not be treated as proof of authenticity without additional verification.

How do I remove EXIF data from my photos?+

ExifGrabber can remove it for you. Drop a JPEG, PNG, or WebP file and click "Remove metadata & download" to get a clean copy with all EXIF, GPS, and other metadata stripped out, processed entirely in your browser, with nothing uploaded. You can also strip metadata with photo editing software: on Windows, right-click a file and go to Properties > Details > Remove Properties; on macOS, Preview can remove location data. Removing GPS data before sharing photos online is a good privacy practice.

Is ExifGrabber free to use?+

Yes, ExifGrabber is completely free with no limits on the number of files you can analyze. There's no account required and no software to download, just open the site and drop in your photo.
