See and remove what your photos are carrying
See what your photos reveal, and strip it losslessly.
Private — processed on your device, never uploaded
About this tool
A photo from a phone records far more than the picture: the camera, the exact second, and usually the latitude and longitude to within a few metres. This shows you everything that is in there and takes it out — without re-encoding the image, so the picture that comes out is byte-for-byte the one that went in, minus what it was carrying. It runs privately in your browser, which for a tool about what your files reveal is rather the point.
Private by design — your files never leave your device. Toolpit has no upload step and no server that can see your document — the work happens in this tab, on your machine, and stops the moment you close it.
How to see and remove what your photos are carrying
Drop in one photo, or a whole folder of them.
Read what each is carrying — camera, timestamps, software, and any location.
Remove it all, then download the cleaned files singly or as a ZIP.
Questions
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no upload step and no server that could receive the file — the tool runs as code in this browser tab, works on the copy your browser opened, and forgets it when you close the tab. You can check this yourself: open your browser’s network panel and run the tool. You will see the page, its scripts and the ads that pay for the site — and no request carrying your file, because there is no endpoint to carry it to.
Does removing metadata reduce the image quality?
Not here. The metadata blocks are removed from the container and every byte of picture data is passed through untouched, so the image is identical to the original. That is worth checking elsewhere: the usual way to do this in a browser is to redraw the photo onto a canvas and export it again, which re-compresses the picture — a JPEG loses quality, and a large one can come back bigger than it started.
What is actually hidden in a photo?
Typically the camera make and model, the lens, the exposure settings, the date and time to the second, the software that edited it, and on most phones the GPS latitude and longitude — often accurate to a few metres. Some cameras also record a body or lens serial number, which links every photo you have ever posted to the same device.
Do social networks not strip this already?
The large ones usually strip location on upload, but it is not universal, it does not apply to files sent by email or messaging app, and it does not apply to a photo attached to a classified listing or a rental application. Removing it before the file leaves your machine does not depend on anyone else’s policy.
Which formats are supported?
JPG, PNG and WebP — the three that carry this kind of record. The colour profile is deliberately kept in each, because dropping it would change how the image displays, which would make the operation lossy through the back door.
Is there a watermark or a file limit?
Never. There is no watermark, no page limit, no daily cap and no paid tier that unlocks the real output. Toolpit costs nothing to run per file, because your device does the work.
