EXIF Transfer

Copy the EXIF metadata from one photo onto another without changing the destination's pixels. That covers camera model, lens, focal length, exposure, GPS and more. Choose to replace all metadata or only fill in what the source provides.

Everything runs locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

Pick two images

The source supplies the metadata and the destination receives it. Its pixels are never changed.

Source

metadata is copied from here

JPEG · click or drop

Destination

metadata is written here

JPEG · click or drop

Only the tags the source has are written. The destination's other tags are kept.

JPG Image Compressor

Shrink any image with as little quality loss as possible. Pick a WhatsApp, Instagram or Discord preset, or switch to Custom to hit a hard file size or a fixed quality, downscale with aspect-locked resolution sliders, and keep or strip EXIF metadata. Live preview, multiple images at once.

Image Converter

Convert images between JPEG, PNG, WebP and AVIF. Drop in as many as you like, pick a format, and dial in the quality for the lossy ones. When you convert to JPEG, choose the colour that fills any transparency. Live previews, download one or all at once.

EXIF Editor

See and edit the EXIF metadata inside a photo, then download it with your changes or save a copy with all metadata removed, GPS included. It reads JPEG, PNG, HEIC and more, and edits JPEG files.

Hash Generator

Hash text or a file with MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-3, BLAKE2, BLAKE3, CRC32 and more, all computed live as you type. Compare against an expected checksum and copy any digest.

devsecurity

Checksum Validator

Verify a checksum online: drop a file, paste the expected checksum and see instantly whether they match. The hash type is detected from the checksum itself, covering MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, BLAKE3, CRC-32 and more, and sha256sum lines or whole checksum files can be pasted as-is.

Data Compressor

Compress text or a file with gzip, deflate, brotli or Zstandard and see the size before and after, the compression ratio and how long it took. One click tries every method and recommends the smallest result.

devcompress

Data Decompressor

Decompress gzip, deflate, brotli or Zstandard data from a file or pasted Base64 and read the result as text or download it. Detects the format from the magic bytes where possible, with a manual override.

About the EXIF Transfer Tool

This tool copies the metadata from one photo onto another. Load a source photo and a destination photo, and it moves the camera, lens, exposure and GPS details across, leaving the destination's picture untouched.

It is most useful after editing. Photo editors often drop EXIF when they export, so you can copy it back from the original file.

What you can do

  • Restore EXIF data after editing or exporting a photo.
  • Copy camera, lens, exposure and GPS data from one JPEG to another.
  • Merge the source's metadata in, or replace the destination's completely.

How to use the EXIF Transfer

  1. 1Load the source JPEG, the one whose metadata you want to copy.
  2. 2Load the destination JPEG, the one that should receive it.
  3. 3Leave the toggle off to merge, or turn it on to replace all the destination's metadata.
  4. 4Download the destination photo with its new metadata.

Merge or replace

Merge, the default, writes in only the tags the source has and keeps anything else the destination already had. Replace clears the destination's metadata first, then applies the source's. Merge is the safer choice when you just want to fill in missing details.

Restoring EXIF after editing

Export a photo from an editor and the EXIF is often gone. Point the source at your original file and the destination at the exported one, and the camera and shooting details come back. The edited pixels stay exactly as your editor saved them, and the destination keeps its own orientation so it is never rotated by mistake.

Both files need to be JPEG. To hand-edit or strip individual tags instead, use the EXIF Editor.

Credits

Open source does the heavy lifting in this tool. Thank you to:

  • exifr

    A fast and versatile EXIF and photo metadata parser.

  • piexifjs

    A library for reading and writing the EXIF data inside JPEG files.
