Is my photo uploaded to read its EXIF?

No — the file is parsed locally with the exifr library, and stripping rewrites the JPEG in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Does stripping metadata reduce image quality?

No — it removes only the metadata segments (Exif, XMP, IPTC, comments) from the JPEG without touching or re-encoding the image data, so quality is identical.

Why should I remove GPS data before sharing photos?

Many cameras and phones embed the exact latitude and longitude where a photo was taken. Stripping EXIF prevents others from learning your home, workplace, or routine from a shared image.

Which formats are supported?

Reading and lossless stripping target JPEG, the format that most commonly carries EXIF and GPS metadata.

EXIF Viewer & Stripper

See exactly what a JPEG reveals about you — camera and lens, capture date, exposure settings, software, and any embedded GPS location — then strip all of it out with one click. Reading and stripping both happen in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded.

How to use EXIF Viewer & Stripper

Drop in a JPEG (or click to browse).
Review the summary, any GPS coordinates, and the full metadata table.
Click "Strip metadata & download" to get a clean copy with Exif, XMP, IPTC, and comments removed.
