Copy EXIF between photos

Take the EXIF, GPS and XMP metadata off one JPEG and write it onto another — useful when an edit, an export or an upload has stripped a photo of everything but its pixels.

Your photos never leave this device. Both files are read and rewritten by your own browser — there is no upload, no server, and nothing is saved. Refresh the page and both photos are gone.

What gets copied

The metadata segments are copied byte for byte, so everything survives: camera and lens, exposure, timestamps, GPS, the embedded thumbnail, maker notes, and the XMP block that drone footage keeps its altitude and gimbal angles in. The photo’s pixels are never re-encoded, so the image you download is the one you put in.

JPEGs only, for now

EXIF lives in a JPEG’s APP1 segments, and PNG, HEIC and RAW files each store metadata somewhere else entirely. Both sides need to be a .jpg. Whatever the photo on the right was carrying — EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC — is removed before the copy is written, so nothing of it survives into the file you download. Its colour profile is kept, because that describes how to show the pixels rather than where they came from.
