What EXIF Lens does
View all metadata
See every EXIF field in your photo: GPS coordinates, camera make and model, lens, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, focal length, date, and software.
Remove GPS for privacy
Photos taken with a smartphone contain precise GPS coordinates. One click removes location data only- keeping all other metadata intact.
Strip all EXIF
Remove every piece of metadata from a photo in one step. Camera model, timestamps, software- all gone. Ideal before sharing images publicly.
Batch processing
Upload multiple photos at once. Remove GPS or strip EXIF from all files simultaneously, then download everything as a single ZIP.
Common questions
Will this work on iPhone HEIC photos?
Yes - EXIF Lens reads full metadata from HEIC files, including GPS coordinates, camera model, and capture settings. However, EXIF removal is only supported for JPEG files. To strip metadata from a HEIC photo, convert it to JPG first (any standard photo app can do this), then run it through EXIF Lens.
Is my GPS actually removed?
Yes. When you click 'Remove GPS', the GPS IFD block is deleted from the EXIF structure using piexifjs, a well-tested library. The resulting file contains zero GPS fields. You can verify this by reloading the cleaned file- the GPS section will show 'No data'.
What metadata does EXIF contain?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard embedded in photo files. It can contain: GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude), camera make and model, lens model, ISO sensitivity, aperture (f-number), shutter speed, focal length, date and time of capture, software used to edit the photo, and more. This data is added automatically by cameras and smartphones.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens entirely in your browser. The files are never sent to any server. EXIF is read using the exifr library running locally, and metadata is removed using piexifjs- both run 100% client-side. Your photos stay on your device.
