Drop an image to inspect and strip its metadata
EXIF / Metadata
View and strip EXIF metadata — GPS, device, timestamps — from your photos, in your browser. Nothing uploaded.
How it works
- Drop a photo (JPEG or PNG) onto the tool.
- Every embedded metadata field is read locally — camera, timestamps, and GPS location if present.
- Download a cleaned copy with all metadata stripped, ready to share safely.
Key features
- Reads EXIF, GPS, and PNG text metadata client-side
- Flags embedded GPS location so you never share where a photo was taken by accident
- One-click download of a metadata-free copy of your image
- Runs entirely in your browser — the image is never uploaded
Common uses
- Strip GPS coordinates from a photo before posting it publicly
- Check what camera, device, or editing software a photo was created with
- Remove author, copyright, and timestamp metadata before sharing an image
Frequently asked questions
How do I compare exif / metadata online?
Drop a photo (JPEG or PNG) onto the tool. Every embedded metadata field is read locally — camera, timestamps, and GPS location if present. Download a cleaned copy with all metadata stripped, ready to share safely.
Are my files private when I use this tool?
Yes. All comparison runs locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device and are never sent to any server — not a policy promise, but an architectural fact. There is no server receiving your data.
No AI means no hallucinations
Compare Files uses a deterministic, logic-based engine — not a language model. It reports every change that is actually in your files, and never invents one.
