Why People Use PixDuplicate's EXIF Editor

See What's Actually in There

Camera make, model, lens, ISO, shutter speed, GPS coordinates, timestamps—all of it laid out so you can see what's in the file.

Change What You Want

Fix a wrong timestamp, update copyright info, or add your name as the artist. Edit whatever doesn't match reality.

Strip It All Out

One button removes every bit of metadata. Useful before posting a photo that would otherwise give away where your house is.

Nothing Gets Uploaded

Everything runs in your browser. Your images and metadata never leave your device—no servers, no cloud.

Batch the Cleanup

Strip metadata from a whole folder of photos in one pass. Good when you're prepping a batch for sharing.

Download Everything at Once

Grab all your processed images as a ZIP so you're not downloading them one at a time.

How the EXIF Editor Works

Reading and cleaning metadata—without sending your images anywhere

Step 1: Add your JPEGs

Drag and drop JPEG files, browse for them, or paste an image URL. This tool works with JPEG only—that's where EXIF data lives in the most consistent format.

Try the example image first if you just want to see what EXIF data looks like before uploading your own.

Step 2: Look at the metadata

The editor groups things into three tabs so it doesn't overwhelm you:

Basic: camera make and model, software used, timestamps, artist, copyright

Camera: ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, lens details

GPS: latitude, longitude, altitude—the stuff you probably want gone before posting

Step 3: Edit, keep, or strip

Whatever you need to do:

Edit fields: change any value you want and save the result as a new file

Remove all EXIF: one click strips everything, leaving a clean JPEG

Batch it: apply the same changes to a whole folder at once

Copy or export: save the metadata as text or JSON if you want a record

Step 4: Download the results

Once done:

Preview the processed images in the results gallery

Download individual files with the new metadata (or no metadata)

Or grab everything as a ZIP

See how much smaller files get when metadata is stripped—sometimes a few hundred KB

Tip: If you're posting photos from home, strip EXIF first. GPS coordinates in your photos tell anyone who downloads them exactly where you live.

Your Images Stay on Your Device

Unlike other online EXIF tools, PixDuplicate does all the work locally in your browser. That means:

Your images and metadata never leave your device
No uploads, no cloud processing
No sign-up or personal info needed
Completely free with no limits
GPS and location data stripped on-device
Works offline after the page loads

Marcus Whitfield

"I shoot real estate and the GPS coordinates in listing photos used to be a real concern—they'd tell people exactly which house. Strip the metadata before posting and it's a non-issue. This does it in a few clicks."

Elena Kovač

"The editing side is nice—I add copyright info to everything before delivering to clients. Not the prettiest interface but it does the job and I don't have to worry about client photos getting uploaded somewhere."

Trent Hollis

"Used this to strip location data from a batch of protest photos before sending to a news outlet. Local processing was non-negotiable—no way I'm uploading images of sources to a random website. Worked exactly as needed."

Sasha Petrov

"JPEG-only is a limitation—wish it handled PNG and TIFF too. For JPEGs it's solid and the batch mode is genuinely useful. Just had to convert a few files first."

Lorelei Nakamura

"I travel and post photos to a public blog. The GPS stripping alone makes this worth it—nobody needs to know exactly which café I was sitting at. Takes ten seconds per image and I don't think about it again."

Desmond Ashby

"I run a small photo archive and this helps me verify camera metadata before cataloging. Being able to copy the EXIF to JSON is useful for building records. Would be nice if it also wrote back to non-JPEG formats."

Common Questions

What is EXIF data?

It's information your camera or phone automatically saves into every JPEG. Camera make and model, lens, ISO, shutter speed, the date and time, and—if location services were on—the exact GPS coordinates where the photo was taken. It's useful for photographers, less useful for anyone who doesn't want strangers knowing where they live.

Why would I edit or remove it?

Two main reasons. Privacy: stripping GPS before posting photos online. Accuracy: fixing timestamps that got set wrong, updating copyright info, or adding your name as the artist before delivering to a client.

Does it support formats other than JPEG?

No, JPEG only. That's where EXIF data is most standardized and consistently implemented. PNG and TIFF use different metadata formats that don't play as well with browsers.

Can I batch process a folder?

Yes. Upload multiple JPEGs and use 'Process All' to apply the same changes to everything. Useful when you're cleaning metadata from a whole shoot before delivering.

What can I edit?

Camera make and model, software, timestamps, artist name, copyright, description, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, lens info, GPS coordinates, and altitude. If it's in the EXIF block, you can probably change it.

Does removing EXIF hurt the image?

No. The image data is untouched—only the metadata gets removed. Quality, dimensions, colors, everything stays exactly the same. You might notice the file size drops a bit, which is a bonus.

Is GPS removed when I strip EXIF?

Yes. When you remove EXIF completely, GPS coordinates, altitude, and every other location-related field goes with it. Full location privacy.

Can I export the metadata as a file?

Yes. Copy it to clipboard or export it as JSON. Handy if you want to keep a record of the original camera settings before stripping them.

Does it work on phones?

It runs in any modern browser, so yes. For big batches or heavy editing, a desktop is faster.

Is there a limit on how many images I can process?

No limits. Process as many as you want. No caps, no paywall.
