- Removed Kept
The Exif block also holds a small preview thumbnail, which can show the photo as it was before cropping.
Camera and photo
No Exif camera data in this file.
Remove metadata
This photo is stored sideways or flipped and relies on its Exif orientation () to display upright. Removing the metadata removes that flag, so the clean file would show rotated.
To avoid that, apply the rotation to the pixels and re-encode. That rewrites the image, so it is not lossless.
Lossless: the image data is copied byte for byte and only the metadata blocks marked Removed are left out.
There is no metadata to remove.

About the EXIF Viewer & Metadata Remover
Phones and cameras write Exif data into photos: camera model, lens, exposure, the date and often the exact GPS position. Editors add XMP and IPTC blocks with names, captions and edit history. This tool reads that metadata from JPEG, PNG and WebP files, shows the fields that matter (with the GPS position and a link to OpenStreetMap), and removes it.
Removal is lossless. For JPEG it drops the Exif, XMP, IPTC and comment segments and copies the compressed image data byte for byte, keeping the ICC color profile so colors don't shift. For PNG it leaves out the text, eXIf and tIME chunks; for WebP it removes the EXIF and XMP chunks and updates the file header. Nothing is uploaded.

Common questions
Why would the clean photo appear rotated?
Cameras often store the pixels sideways and set an Exif orientation flag. Removing the flag removes the rotation, so the tool warns you and offers Apply rotation and re-encode, which turns the pixels upright. That rewrites the image, so it isn't lossless.
Do websites strip metadata for me?
Many social networks do, but email attachments, chat apps sending "files", cloud shares and your own site usually keep it.
