What is your photo telling people?
Photos carry hidden metadata: where they were taken, when, and on what device. Drop a JPEG below to see what is inside yours. The file is read entirely in your browser and never uploaded anywhere, you can check with Wi-Fi off.
Tap to choose a photo, or drag one here
JPEG works best. HEIC photos should be exported or shared as JPEG first.
Read locally with plain JavaScript, no upload, no server, no analytics on this page. To strip metadata on iPhone, share the photo and tap Options, then turn off Location, or screenshot the photo for a clean copy.
Why this matters
A photo of your dog in the backyard can carry your home's GPS coordinates, accurate to a few feet. Most big social networks strip this data on upload, but email, many messaging apps, cloud drives, and marketplace listings often do not. If you sell something on a local marketplace with an original photo, the buyer may be able to read exactly where it was taken.
The fix is easy once you know: iPhone lets you share with location off, and a screenshot of a photo contains none of the original metadata. Checking a photo here before you post it takes ten seconds.
This viewer reads the most common EXIF fields in JPEG and TIFF files. Some formats and edited files store metadata differently, an empty result here does not guarantee a file is clean.
