What does my photo reveal — and how do I remove it?
A JPEG photo embeds EXIF metadata in the file itself: GPS coordinates precise enough to identify your home or office, the device you used, and the exact timestamp. When you share an unstripped photo, anyone who downloads it can extract this data in seconds. Vikone removes every EXIF field locally in your browser — your photo never reaches a server.

| File sent to a server | Never | Every time |
| Works offline | Yes — after first load | No |
| Account required | No | Often |

Frequently asked questions
- What EXIF fields does this remove?
- It removes GPS coordinates, camera model and lens, shooting date and time, orientation, and all other EXIF fields from JPEG images.
- Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
- No. EXIF removal runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server — verifiable by opening the Network tab while the tool is running.
- Does removing EXIF change the photo quality?
- No. Only the hidden metadata layer is removed. The visible image — every pixel — is preserved exactly.
- What photo formats are supported?
- JPEG and JPG. PNG, WebP, and other formats do not carry EXIF metadata, so they do not need this step.
