Image Metadata Viewer & Remover

Inspect and remove privacy metadata from static JPG, PNG, and WebP images without recompressing pixels.

Removal is lossless: image pixel data is not decoded or recompressed. ICC/color information is preserved. Orientation is retained because removing it without rotating pixels could display some images incorrectly.

Your data is processed locally in your browser whenever supported and is not uploaded to our servers.

How it works

Inspect and clean an image in three steps

01

Choose one image

Open a static JPG, PNG, or WebP image from your device.

02

Review its metadata

See recognized EXIF details, GPS coordinates, text fields, comments, and color-profile status.

03

Remove and download

Create a lossless copy without privacy metadata while keeping pixels, orientation, and color information intact.

Private and lossless

Remove hidden details without recompressing the picture.

The tool edits image-container metadata directly in your browser. Pixel data is not decoded or re-encoded, and no image or location data is uploaded.

GPS and EXIF visibility

Review recognized camera fields and embedded coordinates before deciding whether to remove them.

Privacy metadata removed

Remove EXIF details, GPS, XMP, IPTC, comments, and PNG text when present.

Visual integrity preserved

ICC color profiles and orientation are retained so supported viewers can display the image as intended.

Honest results

If no removable metadata exists, the original is not re-encoded or presented as a newly cleaned file.

FAQ

Common questions

Which image formats are supported?

Static JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP images are supported. Animated PNG and WebP files are rejected so frames are never silently altered or discarded.

Does the tool identify every possible EXIF tag?

No. It displays a useful recognized subset and reports other metadata containers when possible. Removal targets the supported privacy metadata blocks rather than claiming to decode every vendor-specific tag.

Why is orientation preserved?

Some photos store their intended display direction as metadata instead of rotating the pixels. Removing that value without changing pixels could make the image appear sideways. WebP orientation support can vary between viewers, but the value is still retained safely.

Are my image or GPS coordinates uploaded?

No. Inspection and removal run locally in your browser. Got A Tool does not receive the selected file, its metadata, or its location details.
