Why Inspect and Strip Photo Metadata?
Every photo taken with modern smartphones and digital cameras contains hidden EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata. ExifGuard allows you to analyze exposure specs, view embedded GPS locations, and sanitize images before sharing them publicly.
Stop Geolocation Tracking
Smartphones automatically tag photos with exact GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, and altitude). Sharing raw photos online can unintentionally reveal your home address, workplace, or travel habits.
100% In-Browser & Private
Unlike cloud-based tools that upload your pictures to third-party servers, ExifGuard runs entirely in your local browser memory. No uploads, no databases, no tracking scripts, and no privacy compromises.
Deep Camera Diagnostics
Inspect critical photography metrics including shutter speed, aperture ($f$-stop), ISO, focal length, metering mode, color space, device serial numbers, and software editing history in seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about photo metadata and privacy.
Does ExifGuard upload or store my pictures on any server?
No, never. All image processing, EXIF tag extraction, and metadata stripping take place locally on your device via HTML5 File, Canvas, and ArrayBuffer Web APIs. Your images never traverse any network.
How do I remove EXIF data and GPS coordinates from a photo?
Simply drag and drop your image into the drop zone. ExifGuard immediately inspects all embedded tags and calculates a privacy risk score. Click "Strip & Download" to export a clean copy stripped of all personal and device metadata.
Which file formats are supported?
ExifGuard supports JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg), PNG (.png), WebP (.webp), and TIFF (.tiff, .tif) files. You can also drag and drop multiple images at once to inspect them in batch mode.
Can I export or compare metadata across different photos?
Yes! You can export full metadata structures to JSON or CSV, copy quick summaries to your clipboard, or use the Compare Tab to evaluate two photos side-by-side.
