Overview
ExifViewer.com reads the hidden data stored inside a file and strips it back out. That data covers the camera make, model and lens, the exposure settings, the date and time, and often the GPS location where the photo was taken. You drop a file in, read what it holds, then save a clean copy with the data removed. It takes images, video files and PDFs, and handles 20 files at once, each up to 50 MB.
The site states that everything runs inside your browser and that files never leave your device, so there is no account and nothing to sign up for. It is free, and there is no app to install.

When to use
Use ExifViewer.com if:
- You are about to post or send a photo and want to strip the GPS location first.
- You want to see the camera, lens and settings a photo was shot with.
- You want to remove metadata without uploading the file anywhere.
- You are handling a private or sensitive file and want the work to stay on your device.
- You need to check the timestamps or the location saved in a photo, video or PDF.
When NOT to use
Skip ExifViewer.com if any of these describe you:
- You want to edit a specific tag rather than read or strip it. This tool inspects and removes metadata, not rewrites individual fields.
- You need to process thousands of files at once. It takes 20 files at a time, so a desktop batch tool suits large jobs better.
- You want to edit the image itself, not its metadata. This tool does not change how the picture looks. Use a photo editor for that.
- You need deep forensic analysis. This shows the common fields, not a full forensic breakdown.

A photo can carry the exact GPS spot it was taken and the time it was taken. Removing that before you post or send the file keeps your location and routine private. This tool saves a clean copy with the data stripped.
No. It only reads and removes the data attached to the file. The image itself is untouched. To edit the picture, use a separate photo editor.
