About the EXIF Viewer & Metadata Remover
The Img Stop EXIF Viewer shows the hidden data stored inside photo files. It reads EXIF, GPS, IPTC and XMP data from JPG, HEIC, PNG and WebP images. You can see the camera brand and model, lens, date taken, exposure, aperture, ISO, focal length, software and more. If a photo contains a GPS location, a warning appears with a link to the spot on OpenStreetMap.
Phones often save your exact location in every picture. Sharing such a photo can show where you live or work. The Remove all metadata button makes a clean copy of the image that keeps the picture but drops EXIF, GPS and camera information. PNG and WebP files stay in their format, and other photos are saved as high quality JPG.

Frequently asked questions
How can I see where a photo was taken?
Drop the photo into the EXIF Viewer. If it has GPS data, a warning shows the latitude and longitude with a link that opens the place on OpenStreetMap. If there is no warning, the photo has no saved location.
How do I remove location data from a photo?
Add the photo and click Remove all metadata. The tool makes a new copy that has no EXIF, GPS or camera details, then you download it. Share this clean copy instead of the original to keep your location private.
Why does my photo show no metadata?
Many apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook and screenshot tools remove metadata when saving or sending pictures. Edited images and downloads from websites also often have none. In that case the viewer says no metadata was found.
Does removing metadata reduce photo quality?
The clean copy is made again from the pixels. PNG files stay lossless. JPG and WebP copies are saved at high quality, so most people will not see any difference. The file size can change a little.
Are my photos sent to a server to read the EXIF data?
No. The metadata is read and removed inside your browser. Your photos, their location and camera details never leave your device, which matters for a tool that deals with private information.
