What is image metadata or EXIF data?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data is information embedded in a photo file including camera model, lens, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, GPS coordinates, and date/time the photo was taken.

Do all photos have metadata?

Most photos taken with digital cameras and smartphones contain EXIF data. However, many social media platforms strip metadata when images are uploaded or downloaded. Screenshots also typically lack camera EXIF data.

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata automatically embedded in photos by cameras and smartphones. It includes camera make and model, lens specs, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, date/time, and optionally GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken.

Many social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp) strip EXIF data when you upload or download images. Screenshots also typically lack camera metadata. PNG files often contain minimal metadata compared to JPEGs from cameras.

Yes — if GPS data is embedded (most smartphones enable this by default unless location is disabled). This tool shows latitude and longitude and provides a Google Maps link to see the exact location on a map.

No. All metadata extraction runs entirely in your browser using the FileReader API and binary parsing. Your photo never leaves your device — this is especially important for sensitive or private photos with GPS location data.

To strip metadata for privacy, use our Image Compressor or any image editor and re-save the file. Most export dialogs have an option to exclude metadata. Converting JPG to PNG and back often removes EXIF data too.
