About this tool
Photos from a phone or camera carry hidden EXIF metadata — often the exact GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken, plus the device model and timestamps. This tool removes all of it in your browser, losslessly (the image is not re-compressed), so the cleaned photo looks identical but reveals nothing. Nothing is uploaded — your photo and its location never leave your device.
Frequently asked questions
What does it remove?
Every EXIF/metadata block — GPS location, camera and lens model, date/time, embedded thumbnails, and XMP/IPTC data. The pixels are left untouched (lossless).
Will it reduce image quality?
No. It removes only the metadata segments and keeps the original compressed image data unchanged, so quality is identical — the file just gets a little smaller.
Why does this matter?
A photo's GPS tag can reveal your home or whereabouts to anyone you send it to. Many social networks strip it, but files shared directly (email, chat, marketplaces) often keep it.
