EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is the most comprehensive metadata standard in photography. It stores camera settings, GPS coordinates, orientation, color space, thumbnails, and dozens of technical parameters — all embedded invisibly in your image file.
Typical EXIF payload
40-80 metadata fields per photo | 10-50KB of hidden data
A single EXIF dump reveals your camera serial number, exact location, and complete shooting parameters.
Three steps. No account. No upload. No cost.
Deep metadata scanning for every field
EXIF data is a metadata standard that stores technical and contextual information inside image files. Originally designed to help photographers organize their work, EXIF has become a significant privacy concern in the age of smartphone photography and social sharing.
Every photo taken with a modern smartphone or digital camera contains EXIF data. This typically includes GPS coordinates accurate to a few meters, the exact date and time, camera make and model, serial numbers, lens information, and exposure settings. For edited photos, the software used and editing history may also be stored.
While some social media platforms strip EXIF data on upload, many do not — and email, messaging apps, cloud storage, and websites often preserve metadata completely. Once a photo is shared with its EXIF intact, anyone who downloads it can extract your location, device identity, and personal information.
MetaStrip provides comprehensive EXIF removal for JPEG, PNG, and WebP files. All processing happens in your browser — your photos are never uploaded to any server, making MetaStrip the most private EXIF stripping tool available.
Up to 20 files per batch. No account, no upload, no cost.
