Image info & metadata
See everything about an image — file size, dimensions, camera model, exposure settings, GPS coordinates and EXIF data. No upload required.
About this tool
In shortRead, edit or fully strip EXIF metadata — privacy for image sharing.
Every modern photo carries an extensive metadata section alongside the visible image. EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format, standardized by Japan's JEIDA consortium in 1995) stores technical capture data: camera model, lens, ISO, shutter speed, focal length, aperture. XMP (Adobe Extensible Metadata Platform) adds structured editing info, licensing and copyright. GPS data pinpoints the capture location on a map. Some phones even embed a thumbnail preview of the image inside the metadata.
With this tool you read, edit and strip these metadata — locally in your browser, no upload.
Why does metadata matter?Three reasons. First, privacy. Posting a photo to Instagram or X often broadcasts the exact capture location, camera model, and sometimes address fragments. Rarely intentional. Second, forensics. EXIF is one of the main reasons fake images are caught — through embedded tool versions or camera signatures. Third, size. A modern smartphone packs 100–500 KB of metadata into every image — a big share of a 1 MB photo that's pointless for web use.
What you can see.When you load an image, the tool lists every metadata field grouped by section: camera (model, lens, manufacturer), capture (date, time, exposure, ISO, aperture), location (GPS coordinates, with optional map link), editing (software versions, history), copyright (author, license, notes). The display is read-only — edits and deletions happen via separate controls.
What you can delete.Individual fields (e.g. GPS only, keep model), whole sections (e.g. the entire EXIF table), or every piece of metadata in one pass. The last option often shrinks the file by 100–300 KB.
What you can edit.Copyright notes, captions, tags, some date fields. Camera-specific fields are read-only — they're embedded in a manufacturer signature and can't be changed without breaking file integrity.
Typical use cases.Remove location before posting to social media. Strip edit history before sending to a client. Add copyright notes before printing. Adjust capture dates before publication.
Privacy.Like every JNRT Pixel tool, the EXIF editor runs locally — the image file is never uploaded. Particularly important for a metadata tool: you don't want to ship the very information you're trying to control. Related: optimize images for web, privacy for photo sharing.
