Copy any EXIF value, or copy everything at once. JPEG and PNG are stripped byte-for-byte with no quality loss; other formats are re-encoded. EXIF editing writes changes back losslessly for JPEG.

Before sharing a photo, you can also shrink its file size with our Image Compressor, change its dimensions with our Image Resizer, or switch it to a different format with our Image Converter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EXIF data, and why does it matter for my photos?

EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format — hidden metadata that cameras and phones embed in a photo, including camera make and model, lens, exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), capture date and time, and sometimes precise GPS location. Pixabc.com's EXIF Data Viewer lets you check EXIF data and extract metadata from any image to see exactly what's saved inside your photo.

What's the difference between View, Edit, and Remove EXIF data?

In Step 2, View EXIF data lets you inspect every EXIF tag in a photo without changing the file. Edit EXIF data turns each value into an editable field so you can update individual tags or delete ones you don't want, currently supported for JPEG images. Remove all EXIF data strips every EXIF tag from the file in one click — the fastest way to clean metadata before sharing a photo online.

How do I remove GPS location data from a photo before sharing it?

Choose "Remove all EXIF data" in Step 2 and confirm. Pixabc.com strips all EXIF tags, including GPS coordinates and location data, from JPEG and PNG images byte-for-byte with no quality loss. This is the safest way to clean a photo's metadata before posting it online or sending it to someone you don't want to know exactly where and when it was taken.

Does editing or removing EXIF data reduce image quality?

No. For JPEG and PNG, Pixabc.com edits and removes EXIF data directly in the file's binary structure instead of decoding and re-encoding the image, so pixels are never touched and there is no quality loss. Other formats (WebP, AVIF, HEIC, HEIF) are re-encoded, since they don't support the same in-place EXIF editing.

Why do photos from Instagram, Facebook, or WhatsApp have no EXIF data?

Most social and messaging platforms automatically strip EXIF metadata, including GPS location, when you upload or send a photo, mainly for user privacy and to reduce file size. If a downloaded image looks empty in the viewer, that's usually why. Photos straight from a camera or a phone's camera roll almost always retain full EXIF data until something in the sharing pipeline removes it.

Is this a free alternative to Jeffrey's Exif Viewer or other online EXIF viewers?

Yes. Jeffrey's Exif Viewer (regex.info/exif.cgi) and similar EXIF CGI tools require uploading your photo to a third-party site. Pixabc.com's EXIF Data Viewer runs entirely in your browser, so there's nothing to upload or install, and your photos never leave your device — a private, no-download alternative for viewing, editing, and cleaning EXIF data.

Do I need to download an EXIF editor for Mac, Windows, or Android?

No. Pixabc.com works directly in any modern browser on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, or Android, so there's no EXIF editor app to download or install. Open the page, select your photos, and view, edit, or remove EXIF data right away.

Can I batch view, edit, or remove EXIF data from multiple photos at once?

Yes. Select multiple images to switch into batch mode, and Pixabc.com applies the same View, Edit, or Remove action to all of them. Once processing finishes, download each result individually or export the whole batch as a single ZIP file.

Why didn't removing EXIF data rotate my photo?

The Orientation tag inside EXIF tells viewers and apps how to display a photo taken while a phone or camera was rotated. When you remove all EXIF data from a JPEG, Pixabc.com keeps that one Orientation tag while stripping everything else, so your photo still displays right-side up everywhere. PNG files rarely carry orientation data, so all EXIF is removed as usual.

Which image formats and EXIF tags are supported?

Pixabc.com reads and displays EXIF data from JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, and HEIF images. Editing individual EXIF tags is currently supported for JPEG only, since that's the format Pixabc.com can safely write metadata back into. Computed or structural fields like image width or resolution unit are shown read-only because changing them wouldn't match the photo's actual pixel data.

How does this tool protect my privacy?

All image and video processing runs locally within your web browser. Your files are never sent to a server, ensuring complete privacy and data security.

Why does image processing run directly in the browser?

Modern web browsers include built-in media decoding, canvas rendering, and file export capabilities. By utilizing these browser-native APIs, the tools process your files directly on your device, ensuring speed, security, and zero server usage.

Do I need to install any software or plugins?

No. All tools are fully web-based and execute directly in your browser. You can crop, compress, resize, or extract video frames without installing any applications or extensions.

How can I use this tool on iPhone or Android devices?

Open the website in any modern mobile browser on iOS or Android (such as Safari or Chrome). You can perform all core actions like compression, cropping, resizing, and video extraction directly on your phone and save the results to your local storage.
