Check what a photo reveals before you share it

Photos often carry the place they were taken, the time, and the phone that took them. Check yours and share only the picture.

Try a sample first

1. Check

See which of six kinds of hidden information the photo carries, down to the GPS point.

Check a photo

2. Clean

Remove it now gives you a copy without it. Several photos? Remove from all.

3. Confirm and share

The copy is checked again automatically. Street signs and faces are yours to check.

Read what we tested

Tested, not assumed: what survives a conversion

We built a sample photo carrying 8 metadata fields — 245 bytes that no one sees when looking at the picture — then put it through the same decode-and-redraw path the converter uses and read the result back with an EXIF parser.

After conversion: all 8 gone

None of the fields survived. The sample is a real file with made-up details, and you can open it in the viewer yourself. The EXIF privacy guide covers the full test and what removing metadata does not protect you from.

What a photo can say about you

These are the six things the EXIF Viewer looks for. A photo rarely carries all of them, and which ones appear depends on the device and its settings rather than on the picture.

Where it was taken

GPS coordinates precise enough to find a house, written by phones whose camera app has location access.

When it was taken

The date and time to the second, which can place you somewhere at a moment you did not mention.

What took it

The make and model of the phone or camera, and sometimes the lens.

Which device exactly

Some cameras write a body serial number, which ties every photo back to one physical device.

Who owns it

An owner, artist or copyright name, if the camera or editing app was set up with one.

What edited it

The software that last saved the file, and on some systems the name of the computer.

Tools that keep files on your device

The other tools do everyday image and PDF work the same way: the file is opened by your browser and the result is handed back as a download, so there is never a copy on someone else's server.

Common tasks, and where to start

A photo is about to be posted publicly

Check it in the EXIF viewer to see whether it carries a location, time, or device details. If it does, convert it: the output is rebuilt from pixels, so none of that carries over. EXIF Viewer

Selling something online with a photo taken at home

Listing photos taken in your own home can carry your home's coordinates. Convert them before uploading, then check one of the results to confirm the location is gone. Image Converter

A document is too confidential to upload anywhere

Merge, split, or render it here: the PDF is opened by your own browser and never sent to a server, so there is no copy of it anywhere but your device. Merge & Split PDF

Someone needs one page of a long PDF

Extract that page as its own PDF so the rest of the document does not travel with it. If it has to open anywhere without a PDF viewer, render it as a PNG image instead. Merge & Split PDF

A photo is too big to email or upload

Resize it down first, then convert to JPG or WebP at quality 0.8. The export is a new file, so the original's EXIF block is not copied into it either. Image Editor

A form only accepts JPG or PNG

Convert the file and download the result. Batch conversion returns a ZIP when there is more than one file. Image Converter

What removing metadata does not do

Converting removes the information stored alongside the picture. It does nothing about the picture itself: a street sign, a house number, a face, a reflection in a window or a screen in the background can identify a place or a person just as well as GPS coordinates. Look at the image before you share it.

The tools accept JPG, PNG and WebP images and PDF documents. HEIC photos from an iPhone, RAW, TIFF, GIF and BMP are not accepted. Keep your originals: converting makes a copy and nothing is stored here after you close the tab. If something fails, troubleshooting lists the usual causes.

Also measured: what conversion does to file size

The format comparison guide publishes every measurement and the test images themselves, including the case where JPG beats WebP.

The guides section starts with what EXIF metadata reveals and how we tested its removal, what a PDF says about who made it, and also covers choosing between JPG, PNG and WebP, reducing file size, PDF output resolution, and fixes for common problems.
