Many phone photos store GPS coordinates and other camera data in the file. Stripping that metadata before you share the image avoids publishing where the photo was taken.
What is removed (and what is not)
The tool rewrites JPEG, PNG or WEBP to strip EXIF, GPS and comments when the format allows it. It does not accept HEIC or PDF. It does not claim to wipe every trace, nor invisible watermarks, nor unusual metadata from some manufacturers.
Remove the location step by step
- Pick the original photoUse the camera or gallery file as JPEG, PNG or WEBP. A crop that is already published sometimes no longer carries GPS.
- Strip the metadataUpload it to the remove metadata tool. The image is rewritten without EXIF, GPS and comments when the format allows it.
- Share the clean copySend or upload the downloaded file, not the original from the camera.
