Every photo from a phone carries more than the picture. Hidden inside the file is a block of information called metadata, and it often includes exactly where and when the photo was taken. The new Photo Metadata Viewer & Remover shows you what is in there and gives you a clean copy.
What is hidden in a photo
- Location. Many phones store GPS coordinates, sometimes accurate to a few metres.
- Date and time the picture was taken.
- Device. The phone or camera model, and sometimes the software version.
- Camera settings such as exposure and focal length.
None of this is visible when you look at the picture, which is why people share it without realising.
How to use it
- Open the tool and drop in one or more photos.
- Look at what was found: location, camera and date are listed for each photo.
- Download the clean copies and share those instead.

Your photos stay on your device
The tool works entirely in your browser. The photo is read and re-saved on your own device, so it is never uploaded to our server. That is the point of the tool, so we kept it that way.
What to know
The clean copy looks the same as the original: it is re-saved at high quality without the metadata block. Screenshots usually contain no location at all, and many social networks strip metadata from the copy they show, but sending the original file by email, a cloud link or as a “document” in a messaging app usually keeps everything. When in doubt, clean first.
