How to Remove GPS Location Data From Photos Before You Share Them

Open the EXIF remover, drop the photo in, and it lists the real metadata found in that file — camera make and model, software, timestamps and GPS coordinates — then removes it. The photo is processed in your browser and never uploaded. On JPEGs the removal is lossless: the metadata segments are cut out and the compressed image data is left untouched, so the picture does not lose quality.

Available free in the United Kingdom, United States, Ireland, Canada, Australia and across the EU. Because files are processed in your own browser and never uploaded, no personal data crosses a border, which keeps use consistent with UK GDPR, EU GDPR and CCPA/CPRA expectations.

Frequently asked questions

Does removing EXIF reduce my photo quality?

Not for JPEG and PNG files. The metadata segments are removed and the compressed image data is copied across untouched, so the image is identical. The only case that re-encodes is a photo whose EXIF orientation says it is rotated, where the rotation has to be applied to the pixels before the tag can be safely dropped.

Can I check what location data a photo contains before removing it?

Yes. The tool parses the EXIF and GPS blocks in your file and lists what it finds, with GPS and other identifying fields flagged as sensitive. Nothing is removed until you choose to remove it.

Is the photo uploaded to check it?

No. Parsing and removal both happen in your browser. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet after the page loads — the tool still works.
