About this tool
Photos carry hidden details, known as EXIF data. These can include the camera, the exact time, and the place where you stood. Add a picture to see them all in one readable table. If it holds a location, you're told plainly, before you share it.
Common questions
Can anyone see this information?
Yes. Anyone who gets the original file can read it with a free tool like this one. Many social apps remove it, but email and file sharing keep it.
Why is there no location or camera listed?
Many apps strip these details when a photo is shared, and screenshots never had them. Location is also missing if it was off on your phone.
How do I remove the location?
Use Remove Image Metadata. It clears the location and other details without changing the picture.
Is it free to use?
Yes. There's no sign-up, and nothing is added to your file unless you ask for it.
What happens to my files?
Your files are only used to run the tool you chose, and they're deleted automatically after about 24 hours.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It all works in your browser, on any computer or phone.
