About This Tool
Smartphones and digital cameras embed Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) segments inside JPEG and PNG files. These binary segments often contain exact GPS latitude/longitude coordinates, device serial numbers, lens models, and timestamps.
This tool parses the raw TIFF IFD0, Exif SubIFD, and GPS IFD directories directly in browser memory and lets you download a clean copy with all APP1..APP15, COM, and tEXt metadata segments stripped without touching the compressed pixel stream.
Key Features
- Lossless Byte-Stream Splicing: Removes JPEG APP1..APP15/COM markers and PNG tEXt/eXIf chunks directly without canvas re-encoding or quality degradation.
- GPS Coordinate Extraction: Decodes rational degree/minute/second GPS tags into decimal latitude and longitude coordinates and flags privacy-sensitive fields.
- Built-in Synthetic Test Sample: Includes an in-memory synthetic JPEG containing camera and GPS EXIF headers so you can test inspection and stripping immediately.
