EXIF Viewer and Remover: Location Privacy Guide
Location data in a shared photo can reveal a home address. This tool lists camera, date and GPS data from JPEG files. The clean button removes the APP1 metadata section and downloads a new file without touching pixels. Everything runs on-device.
Step by step
- Select a JPEG photo (max 20 MB).
- Press view to read camera, date and GPS rows.
- Consider who will see any location row.
- Press clean to download the new file.
- Re-open the new file to confirm an empty list.
Example scenario
A seller notices GPS in a listing photo points at home. The file goes into the tool, latitude rows appear. Cleaning downloads a fresh file; re-check shows nothing. The safe version is published.
Check your result
Re-open the cleaned file for zero rows left. Confirm smaller size with identical image. Archive the original separately.
