How to remove GPS location from photos before sharing

A photo can contain precise coordinates even when you cannot see them. Create a copy without GPS location, directly in your browser.

Remove GPS from photos

Your photos are never uploaded to our servers.

Coordinates can stay inside a photo

Many smartphones store the location where a photo was taken in EXIF metadata. The data is not visible in the image, but it can be read by apps, websites, or anyone who receives the original file.

Removing GPS is useful when you publish photos of home, children, private places, work in progress, or travel. It does not change what you see: it creates a more cautious copy to share.

When it helps

Sharing a photo should not share its location too

Home and private places

Avoid attaching precise coordinates to a photo taken at home or in a sensitive location.

Social and chats

Platforms handle data differently: starting with a clean copy gives you more control.

Clients and work

Deliver or publish images without unintentionally revealing where a job was carried out.

Three steps

Remove location in seconds

01

Choose photos

Upload JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC from your device.

02

Check the data

The tool shows common metadata found, including GPS location when detected.

03

Download the copy

The new photo does not include removed metadata and is ready to send or publish.

Before sharing a photo

  • Use a clean copy when the image shows your home, neighbourhood, or a private place.
  • A screenshot may remove some data, but it is not a reliable method and may not preserve the quality you want.
  • Also check photos exported from apps and programs: they can add technical or workflow information.
  • Always keep the original: the tool creates a new copy and never edits the file on your device.

Frequently asked questions

Removing GPS from photos

Is my photo uploaded online?+

No. Cleaning happens locally in your browser: images and coordinates stay on your device.

Does removing GPS change quality?+

For JPG and PNG, we remove metadata blocks without changing visible pixels. HEIC and WebP are converted into a new clean copy.

Is GPS the only data removed?+

No. The clean copy also removes other common metadata, including EXIF, XMP, IPTC, date and device details when present.
