Photo clean-up

A photo can carry more
than the picture.

Drop in a photo and see the extra information tucked inside the file — the device, the date, the camera settings, and sometimes where it was taken. Then clean it before you share it.

The photo

Here's where I was, when, and on what.

You

That's more than I meant to share.

or click to choose one. JPEG and PNG only — we can't read inside an iPhone HEIC.

Add a photo and we'll show you exactly what's tucked inside the file.

The photo is never uploaded. It's read, cleaned and handed straight back to you right here in the browser.

We read and strip the EXIF, XMP and comment blocks inside JPEG and PNG files. That covers the camera, the date and the location. If the photo matters — a home, a child, anything you would not want placed on a map — open the cleaned copy and check it yourself before you publish it. Terms

Worth knowing

What's hiding in a photo file.

Plain English, no scary hacker imagery. This is about knowing what you're sharing.

What is EXIF, then?

Phones and cameras often store extra details inside a photo: the device used, the date and time, camera settings, and sometimes the exact location. It's called EXIF, and it travels with the file unless something takes it out.

Do social platforms strip it?

Sometimes, partially, and it varies — it's outside your control and it changes over time. We won't make claims about specific apps, because those claims age badly. The reliable habit: if you don't want the information in the file, take it out before you share.

What does MBSD do with my photo?

Nothing. Your photograph stays on your device. The metadata is removed in your browser and the cleaned copy is handed straight back to you. Nothing is uploaded, logged or kept — you can go offline and the tool still works.

Your privacy

Nothing. Your photo stays on your device. The metadata is removed in your browser and the cleaned copy is returned directly to you.
