out of a photo

Works on JPEG, PNG, WebP and HEIC. The image is unchanged; only the coordinates go.

See it before you remove it

The tool shows you the coordinates it found and links them to a map, so you can confirm what a recipient would have seen. That is usually more persuasive than a list of field names, and it tells you immediately whether the photo was taken somewhere you mind disclosing.

GPS is not stored in one place

Coordinates live in a dedicated section of the EXIF block, but a location can also appear as a place name in XMP, written by editing software that resolved the coordinates into a city. Cleaning removes both.

One photo is enough

You do not need to leak location repeatedly. A single tagged photo of something at home establishes an address, and it stays established. This is why checking before sending matters more than any settings change.

Common questions

How accurate is photo GPS data?

Typically within a few metres, and often with altitude, which can indicate a floor in a building.

Does removing GPS affect the image?

No. The picture data is untouched.

Can I remove location from several photos at once?

Not on this page. For batches on your own machine, exiftool is the standard tool.
