Image Privacy Tools
Check what an image may reveal and create a cleaned copy before sharing it publicly.
Recommended workflow
- 1.Inspect the file first to see whether camera and orientation metadata are present.
- 2.Use EXIF cleanup to create a newly encoded copy before sharing.
- 3.Check the output summary, then download the cleaned file locally.
- 4.Keep the original untouched in case you need the metadata later.
Recommended tools
How to choose
- Use Metadata Viewer when you only need to inspect metadata presence.
- Use EXIF cleanup when a shareable copy is the goal.
- Treat re-encoding as the cleanup boundary rather than editing metadata in place.
- For sensitive locations, verify that GPS presence is removed from the output summary.

Usage notes
- Metadata can include camera, date, orientation and other capture details.
- Local re-encoding removes many common exchangeable metadata fields.
- No tool can guarantee removal of every proprietary vendor field.
Frequently asked questions
Will the metadata viewer show precise GPS?
No. The live viewer indicates GPS metadata presence without displaying exact coordinates.
How does EXIF removal work?
The live tool decodes and re-encodes the image in your browser, creating a new output file.
Are privacy tools available now?
Yes. Dedicated metadata and EXIF cleanup pages are live and process files without uploading them.
