See what a photo reveals before you share it: GPS location, device, serial numbers, names and timestamps. Then download a clean copy with the metadata removed.
No map is shown on this page, because loading one would send these coordinates to a map provider. The link above opens one only if you click it.
The page also carries a content security policy that blocks it from contacting any server.
Information your camera or phone saves inside the image file: when and where it was taken, the device and its settings, and sometimes names and serial numbers. EXIF is the most common format; XMP and IPTC carry similar details.
Yes. If location was turned on for the camera, the file can hold GPS coordinates precise enough to pick out a single building. This tool shows them and can remove them.
No. Your browser reads the file on your device. The page includes a security policy that blocks it from contacting any server, and the steps above let you confirm that yourself.
Many large platforms strip most metadata from the copy they publish, but not all of it and not everywhere. Email attachments, file-sharing links and many websites pass the original file along unchanged. Checking first is the safe habit.
Not for JPEG, PNG or WebP: the metadata blocks are cut out and the image data is left untouched. The colour profile and rotation are kept so the photo looks the same. HEIC, TIFF and AVIF files are redrawn as a new JPEG or PNG, which can change quality slightly.
Viewing: JPEG, HEIC/HEIF, TIFF, PNG, WebP and AVIF. Cleaning HEIC needs a browser that can open it, such as Safari; otherwise convert it to JPEG first.
