How to view and remove JPEG metadata
- Choose a JPG or JPEG file, or drag it into the image pane.
- Review the metadata found in the photo. Available details may include the camera, date taken, editing software and GPS coordinates.
- Check the metadata blocks you want to remove, or use Select all. Selecting EXIF removes that block’s camera, date and location data together; individual EXIF fields cannot be selected separately.
- Choose Remove selected & download to save a new JPEG. The original file and any unselected metadata stay unchanged.
Remove photo metadata before sharing
Check what travels with your photo
A photo can carry details you cannot see in the picture, such as when it was taken, which camera made it and where it was captured. Use the JPEG metadata viewer to check the available details before posting a photo or sending the original file.
Keep the information you want
You might remove EXIF location data while keeping a comment, or remove a comment while keeping the camera details. Choose whole metadata blocks to remove. The compressed image data, orientation and color profiles are preserved.
The picture stays the same
Removing metadata changes the information stored alongside the image. It does not blur faces, cover addresses or remove anything visible in the photo.
What metadata can a JPEG contain?
EXIF: camera, date and GPS data
EXIF can store camera details, dates, GPS coordinates and an embedded thumbnail. The tool shows supported details when present. Removing an EXIF block removes its contents while preserving the orientation needed to display the photo correctly.
XMP: descriptions and editing information
XMP can contain descriptions, ratings, author details and editing history. The viewer shows a text preview of the packet. Select the XMP block to remove it from the downloaded copy.
IPTC / Photoshop: captions and credits
IPTC / Photoshop metadata can include captions, keywords, creator details, copyright and editing information. The tool identifies these blocks for removal but does not decode their individual fields.
Comments and thumbnails
Comments are text embedded by a camera or image editor. Thumbnails are small previews stored inside the file. A separate thumbnail block can be selected on its own; an EXIF thumbnail is removed with its EXIF block.
Other metadata and trailing data
Applications may add metadata blocks that this viewer does not decode. Trailing data is content stored after the JPEG image ends. These appear as separate choices when found.
