Remove GPS from Photo & Clean Metadata

Clean your photos before sharing. Remove hidden data like location, date, and device info.

Protect your location privacy and personal security by stripping hidden EXIF tags, camera details, and geolocation headers from your photos before sharing. When you snap a photo, your phone embeds extensive metadata (EXIF) including your exact physical latitude and longitude, camera settings, lens model, and timestamp. Our lossless offline cleaner removes these headers completely without affecting the visual quality of the photo, preventing strangers on Craigslits listings, selling items online, sharing private snapshots on social forums like Reddit, or sending business receipts. from tracking your location.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EXIF metadata, and why is it a security risk? ▼

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a metadata standard embedded in image files. It stores detailed camera specs, timestamps, and crucially, precise GPS coordinates. If you upload a photo taken at home to an online marketplace, anyone can download it, inspect the EXIF data, and pinpoint your home address within feet.

Does stripping metadata lower the picture's resolution or quality? ▼

No! Unlike standard editors that re-save and compress the photo, our tool extracts the binary image data and losslessly strips the header segments. The visual quality, details, and pixels remain completely identical to the original.

Why is an offline EXIF remover safer than online utilities? ▼

Most online metadata cleaners upload your photo to their cloud servers to strip tags. This defeats the purpose of privacy, as a third party now possesses your original geotagged photo. Local browser processing ensures your files never traverse the web before being cleaned.
