EXIF GPS Viewer

What your photo says about you

Phones and cameras write hidden notes into every photo. Open a JPG, PNG or WebP to read them all, then remove what you don't want to share. The picture itself is never re-compressed.

Where each format hides it

Metadata isn't one thing. EXIF is a little TIFF file tucked inside the photo; XMP is XML; IPTC is a newsroom format from the 1990s; PNG has its own text chunks. This page reads and rewrites every block in the right-hand list, and leaves the picture data untouched.

Sharing sites often strip metadata on upload, but messaging apps sending "as a file", email attachments and cloud links usually keep all of it.

JPEGAPP1 "Exif"EXIF: a TIFF structure with IFD0, Exif and GPS directories, plus an optional thumbnail
JPEGAPP1 XMPXML packet; can repeat GPS, add city, editing history
JPEGAPP13Photoshop/IPTC: captions, bylines, keywords, location
JPEGCOMFree-text comment
JPEGAPP2 ICCColour profile (kept: removing it shifts colours)
PNGeXIfThe same EXIF structure, since PNG 1.5 (2017)
