See and remove the metadata in a photo

Drop a photo in. You are about to see the date, the time down to the second, the camera and, very often, the exact place where you were standing. Then clean it and download the clean copy.

This file is beyond what this tool does

This tool needs JavaScript to work, and that is precisely because it works ON YOUR DEVICE: without JavaScript, your file would have to be sent to a server. The instructions and the limits of the tool, however, can be read without JavaScript, just below.

How this is built

Your file never leaves your device

This tool works entirely inside your browser. Not one byte of your file is sent anywhere, and nothing is kept once the tab is closed.

Checkable in ten seconds, without taking our word for it:

Open your browser's inspector: the F12 key (or Ctrl+Shift+I, or Cmd+Option+I on a Mac).
Go to the “Network” tab, then clear the list.
Process a file on this page. The list stays empty: no request goes out.
To go further: cut your connection and do it again. The tool still works.

This absence of requests is also checked BY MACHINE before every release: a lock drives a real browser, processes a real file, and refuses to publish if a single byte goes out.

InstructionsHow it works

This tool READS the metadata of these four families of files. It does not claim to read everything: the compatibility matrix says exactly where the limits are, browser by browser.
