View and remove EXIF data from your photos, losslessly

iEdit shows the EXIF details a photo carries, from camera, lens and date to exposure, GPS, altitude, colour profile and software, on your iPhone, iPad or Android device, and saves a copy with all of them or only the location removed. For JPEG and PNG the pixels stay byte-identical.

Overview

Open a photo and iEdit lists what is inside it: the camera and lens, when it was taken, exposure, aperture, ISO, focal length and whether the flash fired, the GPS position and altitude, the colour profile and the software that last saved it. Then choose Remove all details, or Remove only the location to keep the camera and date but drop where you were. A copy is saved to My files, and the original is untouched.

For JPEG and PNG the removal is lossless: iEdit rewrites the file without the details and the picture itself stays byte for byte as it was. Other formats are saved again at high quality without the details, and iEdit says which will happen before you confirm. One platform difference: Android hides a photo's GPS position from apps that have not asked for the media-location permission, and iEdit does not ask for it, so the Location row appears only on iPhone and iPad.

Before a photo goes to a marketplace listing, a forum, a landlord or a stranger, this is where you check what travels with it. The reading and the removal both happen on your device, so the photo is not uploaded to be inspected, and the tool works offline. Pair it with Privacy blur when the picture itself shows too much.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove the location from a photo before sharing it?

Open EXIF metadata in iEdit, pick the photo and tap Remove only the location. A copy without the GPS position and altitude is saved to My files, with the date and camera details kept. For JPEG and PNG the picture data is not re-encoded, so there is no quality loss.

Why can't I see the GPS location of my photo on Android?

Android hides a photo's location from apps that have not requested the media-location permission. iEdit keeps its permissions to the minimum and does not request it, so the Location row shows only on iPhone and iPad. Remove all details still works as described on Android.

Is viewing and removing EXIF data free, and is my photo uploaded?

Both are free, and nothing is uploaded: the details are read and removed on your device, offline if you like, and the clean copy is saved to My files at no cost. Sharing that copy, or saving it to your photo library or to Files, is part of iEdit Premium, an optional monthly subscription with a 3-day free trial.
