Metadata Remover · free, in your browser

Remove the location from a photo

Phones often save the exact place a photo was taken. Check a picture for GPS data and remove it, and anything else you choose, before it leaves your hands.

Remove the location

How to do it

  1. Drop the photo on the page.
  2. Look for Location (GPS) on its card: it shows the position the photo holds.
  3. Keep Location (GPS) ticked in What to remove. Untick other categories if you want to keep them, such as the date.
  4. Choose Copy and clean: download and share the cleaned copy.

Questions

Does removing the location keep the date?

If you untick Dates and times, the dates stay in the main EXIF block. XMP and similar blocks are removed whole, because they can repeat the location; the card lists what was in them.

Do social networks remove the location anyway?

Some do and some do not, and files sent by e-mail or chat apps often keep it. Removing it yourself means you do not have to rely on them.

Is the photo uploaded to check it?

No. The photo is read in your browser, so the location is never sent anywhere.
