Photo metadata tools for EXIF, GPS and safer sharing

Choose the page that matches the actual task: inspect all supported EXIF fields, check only GPS/location metadata, create a broad cleaned JPEG copy, or use a focused privacy workflow for device information and mobile photos.

Best starting point: If you do not know what the photo contains, use the EXIF viewer or GPS checker first. Clean only the metadata you do not want to distribute, then inspect the output again.

View EXIF metadata

Inspect supported camera, timestamp and GPS fields in a JPEG before changing the file.

Open EXIF viewer

Remove EXIF metadata

Create a cleaned JPEG copy with supported EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC-style metadata and comments removed.

Remove EXIF metadata

Check photo GPS

Use the location-focused checker when your main question is whether supported latitude/longitude fields are present.

Check photo location

Remove GPS from JPG

Use the GPS-specific workflow when location metadata is the exact privacy concern rather than every EXIF field.

Remove GPS metadata

Remove camera information

Focus on supported device, lens, software, timestamp and capture-context fields.

Remove camera info

Batch photo cleanup

Process multiple supported JPEG, PNG and WebP files and download cleaned copies together.

EXIF and GPS are related, but not identical intents

EXIF generalCheck EXIF or remove broad supported metadata when you want the full JPEG metadata picture.
GPS specificCheck location fields or remove supported GPS data when coordinates are the specific concern.
Sharing workflowReview location privacy before sharing when the goal includes both metadata and visible location clues.

PNG and WebP metadata workflows

Check PNG metadata

Inspect supported PNG tEXt, zTXt, iTXt, eXIf and tIME chunks before sharing.

Check PNG metadata

Remove PNG metadata

Create a cleaned PNG copy with supported textual and EXIF-style metadata chunks removed.

Remove PNG metadata

Check WebP metadata

Inspect supported EXIF and XMP metadata inside a WebP file before distribution.

Check WebP metadata

Remove WebP metadata

Create a cleaned WebP copy with supported EXIF and XMP chunks removed while preserving the encoded image payload handled by the workflow.

Remove WebP metadata

PNG, WebP and JPEG do not store metadata in exactly the same container structures, so MetWipe keeps their checkers and cleaners format-specific instead of pretending one generic parser covers every image format.

Mobile photo workflows

Phone images are not all stored the same way. Use the iPhone EXIF privacy guide or Android EXIF privacy guide for device-specific sharing considerations. MetWipe currently documents supported JPEG workflows and does not claim native HEIC cleanup unless explicitly stated.

Learn before you clean

Which photo metadata tool should you use?

Use the EXIF viewer for a broad look at supported JPEG metadata. Use the GPS checker when location is the specific concern. Use the EXIF remover when you want a cleaned JPEG copy, and use the format-specific PNG or WebP workflows for those containers rather than treating every image as JPEG.

For safer sharing, start by inspecting the photo, use the GPS-focused check if location matters, then create and verify a cleaned JPEG copy. Metadata cleanup does not remove faces, signs, addresses or landmarks visible in the pixels.
