Remove EXIF and location from photos
Every phone photo carries hidden data: where it was taken, when, and with which device. Drop your photos here, see what is inside and download them clean — with exactly the same quality.
Processed in your browser — your files never leave your computer.
How it works
-
Drop your photos here
Up to 30 at a time, in JPG, PNG or WebP. The tool reads each file in your browser and instantly shows what it carries: EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, text blocks.
-
See what is inside
Photos with GPS are highlighted in red — that is the exact location where they were taken, recorded by your phone without you noticing. None of it shows in the image, but it travels with the file.
-
Download the clean photos
The metadata goes, the pixels stay: the image is never re-compressed, so the quality is exactly the same. Download one by one or all at once as a .zip.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF?
A block of data that cameras and phones write inside the photo file: date and time, device model, camera settings and, very often, the GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken. It does not show in the image — but anyone with the file can read it.
Does the photo lose quality?
No — not a single pixel. The cleanup removes only the metadata blocks from the file; the image bytes themselves are untouched, with no re-compression. The downloaded file is the same image, a few KB lighter.
Why remove GPS from a photo?
Because a published photo with GPS reveals the exact address where it was taken — your home, your school, your workplace. Before selling something used, posting on a forum or sending files to strangers, it is worth cleaning. Safety, not paranoia.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Reading and cleaning happen entirely in your browser, on your device. You can even turn off Wi-Fi after the page loads and the tool keeps working.
Don't WhatsApp and Instagram already strip metadata?
When sending as a photo, usually yes — but when sending as a document or file, the EXIF goes along. Email, cloud drives, marketplaces and many websites also keep everything. If the photo leaves your control, cleaning it first is safer.
What exactly is removed — and what stays?
Removed: EXIF (including GPS and embedded thumbnails), XMP, IPTC, comments and text blocks. Kept: the ICC color profile and the technical data the image needs to open correctly everywhere. That is why color and quality do not change.
