See what your photos are hiding. View GPS coordinates on a map, strip sensitive data before sharing, or add copyright info that travels with your images.
Every photo you take is quietly collecting information about you. Your phone records where you were, when you took the shot, which device you used, and sometimes even your name if you’ve set it up that way. Most people have no idea this data exists.
We built four tools to help you take control of it.
Image Info Viewer
Upload any image and see everything it knows about you. We’re talking:
- GPS coordinates - shown on an interactive map. That photo of your front door? It might have your exact address embedded in it.
- Camera details - make, model, serial number, lens information
- Settings - aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length
- Dates - when the photo was taken, when it was modified
- Software history - which apps have touched this file
- Copyright/author - if someone’s claimed ownership
We extract EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and ICC profile data. Everything that’s in there, you’ll see it. The GPS map thing is honestly a bit unsettling - try it with a photo from your phone and see where it places you.
This tool is read-only. We don’t modify anything, just show you what’s there.
Strip Metadata
Once you’ve seen what’s in your photos, you might want to remove it. This tool strips everything - GPS coordinates, camera info, dates, software history, all of it.
The image looks exactly the same. The pixels don’t change. But all that hidden data? Gone.
Use this before:
- Posting photos on social media (many platforms strip metadata anyway, but not all)
- Selling stock photos (you might not want buyers knowing which camera you use)
- Sharing images of your home or workplace
- Uploading photos to forums or marketplaces
Some people are more careful about this than others. At minimum, it’s worth knowing what you’re sharing.
Add Copyright
Going the other direction - if you want to claim ownership of your images, you can embed that information in the metadata. Add your name, copyright notice, contact email, and website URL.
This metadata travels with the file. When someone opens your image in Photoshop, Lightroom, or even just Views Details in Windows, they’ll see your info.
It’s not DRM - people can still strip metadata if they want to. But it establishes ownership and makes it harder to claim ignorance. Many stock photo sites read this data automatically.
Edit Metadata
The full editor. Modify any field - camera settings, GPS coordinates, dates, keywords, ratings, contact info. Current values are loaded from your image, so you can see what’s there and change only what you need.
Useful for:
- Correcting wrong dates on photos (cameras with dead batteries, time zone issues)
- Adding or fixing GPS coordinates for photos that didn’t capture location
- Standardizing metadata across a collection
- Removing some data while keeping others (strip GPS but keep copyright)
All four tools work with JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIF, TIFF, and other common formats. JPG and HEIF tend to have the most metadata since that’s what cameras and phones use.
Why we built this
We kept seeing privacy articles about “did you know your photos contain GPS data?” but no good tools to actually check it. The existing options were either desktop software with terrible UX, websites covered in ads, or technical command-line tools.
So we built something simple. Upload, see the data, decide what to do about it.
Try Image Info with a photo from your phone. The results might surprise you.
