Every photo from a phone or camera carries EXIF metadata: camera model, exposure settings, timestamps — and often GPS coordinates of exactly where it was taken. Post that photo and you're publishing more than the image. Stripping EXIF before sharing is basic digital hygiene.
The faymox EXIF tool first shows you what's hiding in your photo — many people are surprised — then produces a clean copy with all metadata removed. The pixels are untouched; only the hidden data goes. And like everything here, it happens in your browser: the photo never leaves your device.
Remove EXIF data in 3 steps
- Drop a JPG into the EXIF Viewer & Cleaner to inspect its metadata.
- Click to remove all EXIF data.
- Download the cleaned copy and share that instead of the original.
FAQ
What is EXIF data?
It's metadata embedded by cameras: make and model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, date taken, and optionally GPS location. Useful for photographers, risky for casual sharing.
Does removing EXIF change how my photo looks?
No. EXIF lives in the file header, separate from the image pixels. The cleaned photo looks pixel-identical.
Which formats have EXIF data?
Mainly JPEG and TIFF files from cameras and phones. PNGs and GIFs don't carry EXIF (though they can hold other metadata).
