Photo privacy made simple

Remove metadata from photo files before you share.

Check a JPEG or HEIC for hidden location, camera, and time details. Create a new JPEG in your browser, verify its common metadata markers are gone, and download a copy to share.

How it works

From hidden details to a shareable copy

Three clear steps, with the privacy check visible before and after.

01 / INSPECT

Choose a photo

Open a JPEG or HEIC from an iPhone, camera, or computer. We read supported metadata inside your browser.

02 / UNDERSTAND

See what is there

Review GPS coordinates, camera details, capture date, and other metadata segments when present.

03 / CLEAN

Download a new copy

We make a new JPEG and check that common EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and comment segments are absent before download.

Common questions

Is an IP address stored in my iPhone photo?

Standard camera EXIF data normally records photo details such as location coordinates, not your network IP address. A website you visit can still receive connection information such as your IP address from the web request.

Does copying a photo to a computer remove GPS?

A direct transfer of the original file may keep embedded metadata. Whether it remains depends on the transfer and whether an app recompresses or converts the image. Inspect the actual file before sharing it.

Can I use an iPhone HEIC photo?

Yes. We read supported EXIF fields from the original HEIC, convert it locally to JPEG, and verify the JPEG before download. Some HEIC variants may not convert; PNG and RAW are not supported. Read the HEIC guide.

Will the cleaned copy look identical?

JPEG is re-encoded, and HEIC is converted to JPEG, so quality, color rendering, file size, and unusual orientation behavior may change. Keep the original and visually inspect the downloaded copy.
