FAQ
Can I view the photo too?
This page only reads metadata; browsers usually cannot display HEIC.
Does the file get converted?
No, it is only parsed.
How do I remove the location from a HEIC?
Convert to JPG first, which drops metadata, or use an iOS export that strips location.
Files never leave your device
Processing happens in your browser using the File API, WebAssembly and Web Workers. There is no upload endpoint.
