Every photo from your phone has GPS coordinates baked into the file — accurate to a few meters. It also has your device model, the exact time you took the shot, and sometimes your name. Most people have no idea this data is there. NexStrip shows you everything, then strips it out before you share the photo with anyone.
Select or drag your photos into the EXIF analyzer area.
View all embedded GPS coordinates, camera models, and timestamps.
Click strip EXIF to generate sanitized image files without any hidden fields.
EXIF metadata was designed for camera manufacturers, not for social media. Here's what gets embedded by default.
If location services were on when you took the photo (and on most phones, they are by default), the file contains exact latitude and longitude. Posting a photo of your living room? You just posted your home address to anyone who knows how to right-click and check file properties.
Camera make, model, serial number, software version, lens data — all of it is stored in the image file. In legal or investigative contexts, this can directly link a photo to a specific device and person. Most people sharing vacation photos don't realize they're also sharing their phone's identity.
The original capture time, any editing timestamps, ISO, shutter speed, aperture — it's all there. If you'd rather not broadcast exactly when and how you took every photo, stripping this is basic digital hygiene.
NexStrip reads and removes metadata entirely inside your browser. No server involved. Batch-process a whole folder and download clean copies individually or as a ZIP. After the first page load, it even works offline.
Everything you need to know about NexStrip metadata stripping.
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is data embedded directly inside image files when photos are captured. It contains details like camera models, timestamps, exposure settings, and sometimes exact GPS coordinates.
It loads the photo inside your local browser client, extracts the raw image canvas data, and re-exports it back as a clean image without copying the metadata headers. This destroys the EXIF data permanently.
Yes. NexStrip operates entirely client-side. The metadata parsing and stripping happen in your browser context. No data, files, or location coordinates are uploaded to any server.
NexStrip supports JPEG, JPG, and PNG image files, which are the most common formats that embed camera metadata.
Drop your files at the top of the page. All metadata is stripped in your browser.
