Phone photos quietly store the GPS location, date, phone model and even camera serial numbers. Add photos to see that data, then remove all of it, remove only the location, or change the date and location before you share them.

Step 1
Choose Photos
JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC. You can add several at once.
🔒 Photos are not uploaded. Everything happens on your device.
Step 2
Clean Your Photos
A colour profile holds no personal data and keeps the colours accurate.
ℹ️ Photos are processed entirely in your browser and are never uploaded to a server. JPG, PNG and WebP metadata is removed without touching the pixels, so quality stays exactly the same. HEIC photos are converted to JPG because browsers cannot rewrite HEIC.
How to Remove Location and Metadata from Photos
Choose one or more photos. Each photo is scanned straight away and labelled with the data found, such as GPS location, phone model or serial number. Press Remove all metadata for a completely clean photo, or Remove location only if you want to keep the date and camera details. Download the results one by one or all at once as a ZIP.

What Data Is Stored in a Photo
GPS location. Latitude, longitude and sometimes the altitude where the photo was taken.
Date and time. When the photo was taken and saved, plus the time zone.
Device. Phone or camera make and model, lens and software version.
Serial numbers. Some cameras store unique body and lens serial numbers.
Names. Camera owner, author or copyright, if they were ever set.
Other data. XMP and IPTC from editing apps, hidden thumbnails, maker notes and PNG text (for example AI image prompts).
Tips for Sharing Photos Safely
Turn off location in the camera. On Android, open the Camera app settings and turn off Location tags. On iPhone, go to Settings, Privacy, Location Services, Camera and choose Never.
Clean photos before selling online. Photos of items taken at home can reveal your address to buyers.
Check what the picture shows, too. House numbers, number plates and the view from a window can give away a location even with clean metadata.
Keep the originals. Metadata is useful in your own albums. Clean only the copies you share.
Frequently Asked Questions
EXIF is extra data that a camera or phone writes into the photo file: the date and time it was taken, the phone make and model, camera settings and often the GPS coordinates of where it was taken. It is not visible in the picture, but anyone who receives the original file can read it.
GPS coordinates in a photo can reveal your home, your children's school or your office to within a few metres. If you post a photo on a marketplace, send it to a stranger or upload it as a file, anyone can open its location on a map. Remove the location before sharing photos taken at home.
Not for JPG, PNG and WebP. This tool only cuts the metadata blocks out of the file without decoding and re-saving the image, so the pixels are identical. The file usually gets slightly smaller. HEIC photos from an iPhone are converted to a high-quality JPG because browsers cannot rewrite HEIC.
When sent as a normal photo, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook generally strip EXIF, including location. But when you send a photo as a document, by email or Google Drive, or upload it to marketplaces and other websites, the original file and its metadata go with it. Cleaning photos yourself is the safest option.
Open Edit metadata on the photo card, then enter a new date and time or paste coordinates such as 40.689247, -74.044502 (you can copy them from Google Maps). Fields you leave empty are removed from the photo. Press Apply, then download the result.
Many phones save the photo as the sensor captured it and write an Orientation tag so it is shown the right way up. When removing all metadata, this tool keeps only the Orientation tag so photos do not suddenly turn sideways, with no personal data at all.
Some cameras store a small preview image (thumbnail) inside the EXIF. If a photo was cropped in certain apps, the old thumbnail may still show the part that was cut off. Some phones also attach extra images after the main photo, such as depth maps or HDR gain maps. This tool removes all of them.
No. Reading and rewriting the files happens entirely in your device's browser. Photos are not sent to any server and disappear from this page when you close the tab.
