Remove GPS Location from Your Photos
To remove GPS data from a photo: open the homepage uploader, select your image, and click Remove metadata. The cleaned copy you download has its embedded GPS coordinates stripped — along with the rest of the EXIF metadata — so the file no longer reveals where it was taken. No signup, and files are automatically deleted within 24 hours.
The picture itself is never changed. We remove the location data only and never re-encode the image, so it stays pixel-for-pixel identical to your original.
Why removing GPS data matters
When location services are turned on, your phone stamps the exact latitude and longitude into every photo it takes. That hidden coordinate is invisible when you view the image, but it's trivial for anyone who receives the file to read. A single photo can pinpoint your home, your workplace, your child's school, or wherever you happen to be standing.
Sharing geotagged photos on marketplaces, dating profiles, forums, or social media can unintentionally expose your real-world location to strangers. Removing the GPS data before you share closes that gap while keeping the photo itself perfectly intact.
Behind the scenes we use ExifTool to strip GPS, EXIF, and other embedded tags in a single pass, running on Cloudflare's edge for fast, private processing. See the About page for how it works, or the FAQ for supported formats.

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove GPS location from a photo?
Upload the photo on the homepage and click Remove metadata, then download the cleaned version. We strip the embedded GPS coordinates along with the rest of the EXIF metadata, so the file no longer reveals where it was taken. The image itself is untouched.
How can I tell if a photo has GPS data?
Most phones add GPS coordinates automatically when location services are enabled for the camera. You usually can't see it by looking at the image, but apps and websites can read it. The safest approach is to strip the location before sharing rather than checking each file by hand.
Does removing GPS data change the image?
No. Only the location and other metadata are removed. The photo's pixels, resolution, and format stay exactly the same — we never re-encode or compress the image.
Is it free to remove GPS data from photos?
Yes. The tool is free with no account required, supports files up to 500 MB, and deletes both your upload and the cleaned copy within 24 hours.
