A photo taken on a phone can carry far more than the picture. Its EXIF data can hold the GPS position where it was taken, along with the phone model and the exact time. If you photograph stock at home or in a shop, that location could reveal more than you intend once the file is shared.
This tool reads those hidden fields in your browser and shows you what it found, then saves a clean copy. It then reads the clean copy again, so you can see that the fields really are gone. No photo is uploaded.
What it looks for
In JPG, PNG and WebP files it reads EXIF fields such as GPS location and altitude, camera or phone model, lens, serial number, owner name, software and the date taken. It also flags XMP and IPTC blocks, comments, PNG text notes and embedded thumbnails, which can carry an older version of the picture.
Location, owner and serial number details are highlighted because they can identify a person or a place. Camera and software details are usually harmless, though many sellers still prefer to remove them.
How the data is removed
Instead of erasing fields one by one and hoping none were missed, the tool draws the picture onto a blank canvas and saves that as a new file. Only the pixels come across. Rotation is applied to the pixels first, so sideways photos stay the right way up, and the colours are converted to the standard sRGB range.
