See the hidden data in a photo
Read the EXIF buried in any image: the camera, the exposure, the date, and often the exact GPS location it was taken. A quick privacy check before you post, done entirely in your browser so nothing is uploaded.

What a typical phone photo carries
A sample of the kind of readout you get. The GPS row is the one worth pausing on.

That GPS line, if the photo was taken at home, is your home address. It rides along silently in the file until you strip it.
For privacy, and for craft
Check before you post
Glance at the GPS row. If it is there and the shot is from somewhere private, strip it first.
Strip it in one step
Run the photo through the Image Compressor. The output comes out with the EXIF gone.
Learn from your shots
If you take photos, the aperture, shutter and ISO tell you exactly what made a frame work, or not.
Frequently asked questions
No. Everything is read from the file in your browser. The GPS shown comes from the photo itself, not from your browser, and nothing is uploaded.
EXIF lives mainly in JPEG files. PNG uses different, lighter metadata, and most cameras and phones only write the full set to JPEG, so a PNG usually has little to show.
Run the photo through the Image Compressor. The browser Canvas it uses does not carry EXIF across, so the output comes out with the location and camera data removed.
Most big ones (Instagram, Facebook, X) strip it on upload, but not all do, and a file you email or message keeps everything. Do not rely on the platform.
Yes. If location was on when you shot it, a photo taken at home carries the exact coordinates of your home, accurate to a few metres. This is the single best reason to check before posting.
