Check a Photo Before You Share It

Before a photo goes into a group chat, a listing or a public post, see everything stored in it — and what we could not inspect — then share a checked copy.

The tool runs in your browser (JavaScript required). Nothing is uploaded.

What we check

  • Location: GPS coordinates, altitude, direction, place names
  • Time: date taken, time zone, edit times
  • Device: make, model, lens, serial number, software
  • People: author, owner, copyright, captions, comments
  • Hidden structures: extra pictures inside the file, unrecognised data blocks

What we don't check

We do not look at what the picture shows. Faces, documents on a desk, a screen, a license plate or a view that gives away where you live are your call — there is no OCR or image recognition. Anything in the file we recognise but cannot fully read is shown as "Not fully inspected".

Questions

Which formats can I check?

JPEG, HEIC/HEIF, AVIF, PNG and WebP. Other formats are named and left unchanged.

What does "Removal verified" mean?

That what was removed was not found again when the new copy was reopened and scanned a second time. It does not mean the whole file or the picture has been checked for everything.

What does "Not fully inspected" mean?

A part of the file we recognised but could not look inside. We found no evidence of personal information there, but we can't confirm it, so it is never counted as checked.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser.
