Remove location and camera details from a photo

Check a photo for GPS coordinates and camera details, then save a clean copy with them removed.

Runs on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

JPEG is cleaned without re-encoding the picture. PNG and WebP are redrawn in the browser, which drops their metadata.

    How to remove location data from a photo

    1. Drop photos onto the box. Each row shows the location, camera and date it contains.
    2. Download each clean copy, or all of them as a ZIP.
    3. Share the -clean copy, not the original.

    Questions

    Will my photos be uploaded?

    No. The metadata is read and rebuilt in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.

    Does removing the location change the picture?

    For JPEG, no. The picture data is copied without re-encoding and only the metadata is dropped. A small orientation tag is kept so the photo still shows upright.

    What about PNG, WebP and other formats?

    They are redrawn in the browser, which drops their metadata. PNG stays lossless and WebP is saved at quality 0.95.

    Which information is removed?

    GPS location, camera make and model, dates, embedded thumbnails, comments, and XMP and IPTC tags. The JFIF header and colour profile are kept.
