How to remove location and EXIF data from a photo

  1. 01

    Choose your photos

    JPG or PNG, up to 30 at once.

  2. 02

    Check what's inside

    Each photo lists what it carries: GPS location, camera or phone, date taken, software and more.

  3. 03

    Download clean copies

    Save each photo, or all of them in one ZIP file.

What is removed and what stays

  • Removed: GPS location, camera or phone model, lens, serial number, dates, software, author and copyright notes, XMP and IPTC editing data, comments and PNG text notes.
  • Kept: the picture itself, byte for byte, so there is no quality loss; the colour profile, so colours look the same; and the rotation, so the photo stays the right way up.
  • Some phones add extra pictures to a JPG for depth or HDR effects, which can carry their own copy of the details. Those are removed too.
  • WebP and HEIC files aren't supported yet. Save or convert them as JPG first.

Questions people ask

Does a photo show where it was taken?

Often, yes. When location is turned on for the camera, phones save GPS coordinates inside the photo, and anyone with the file can read them. Add a photo here to see whether yours has them.

Do social networks remove EXIF data?

Many large ones remove it from the copy they show, but a photo sent by email, as a file in a chat app or through a cloud link usually keeps everything. Removing it yourself is the way to be sure.

Does removing metadata reduce photo quality?

No. The picture data is copied unchanged and nothing is re-compressed, so the clean copy looks exactly like the original.

Will my photo still be the right way up?

Yes. Phones often store a photo sideways with a note saying how to turn it. That one note is kept, so the photo shows the right way up everywhere.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser on your own device, which matters for a tool whose whole point is privacy.
