Remove EXIF Data & GPS Location From Photos
Photos carry hidden metadata: the camera or phone model, the date and time, and — on many phones — the GPS coordinates of where you stood. Share the file by email, chat or a small website and that data can go with it. This tool removes it before you share.

Remove EXIF Data & GPS Location From Photos
Photos carry hidden metadata: the camera or phone model, the date and time, and — on many phones — the GPS coordinates of where you stood. Share the file by email, chat or a small website and that data can go with it. This tool removes it before you share.
It works on JPG, PNG and WebP, and it is lossless: instead of re-drawing the picture, it deletes the blocks inside the file that hold metadata and copies the image data through byte for byte. Quality and pixel dimensions don't change at all. From a JPG it removes EXIF (including GPS), XMP, IPTC, comments, camera-maker blocks, and extra images some phones append after the main picture; from a PNG, text chunks, EXIF and the timestamp; from a WebP, EXIF and XMP. After each run it tells you what it found — for example GPS location, date taken, camera model.
Two things are deliberately kept. A colour profile stays, because removing it can change how the colours look. And if the photo was taken sideways, a single rotation flag is written back so it still displays upright — that flag says nothing about you. Everything happens in your browser, so the original never leaves your device. Note that metadata is not what's in the picture: faces, street signs or a house number are still visible.
Common questions
No. The image data is copied unchanged — nothing is decoded or re-compressed — so the cleaned file looks identical and has the same pixel dimensions. Only the metadata blocks are deleted.
Yes. GPS coordinates live inside the EXIF block, which is removed entirely. The result line tells you when a file had GPS data, so you know which photos were carrying your location.
Phones often store a photo sideways and add a flag saying how to rotate it. Deleting that flag would make the photo display sideways, so when it's needed the tool writes back a minimal EXIF block containing only that one orientation value — no date, device or location.
JPG, PNG and WebP. For iPhone HEIC photos, convert them with HEIC to JPG first; that conversion redraws the pixels into a new JPG, which carries no EXIF.
No. The file is read and rewritten in your browser. Since the point is privacy, it would make little sense to send your photos to a server to have their location removed.
Yes — drop in up to 50. Each is cleaned separately, the result line counts how many had GPS data, and the cleaned copies download together as a zip.
