Strip the exact GPS coordinates embedded in a photo before sharing it online.
This tool runs entirely as JavaScript in your browser. the photo you choose, including any location or device metadata it contains before it’s stripped is never transmitted over the network to this site's server or any third party, and is never written to a cookie, to browser storage, or to any log — there is nothing on our end to breach, subpoena, or accidentally leak, because it was never received in the first place. Closing or refreshing this tab clears it completely.
This describes only what this specific tool does with what you type into it. It doesn't cover the rest of this site — see the Privacy Policy for how analytics and advertising cookies are handled elsewhere.
Photos from phones and cameras commonly carry hidden metadata inside the file itself — the exact GPS coordinates where it was taken, the device model, the date and time, sometimes even the camera's settings. This strips all of it before you share the photo, so a picture posted online doesn't quietly reveal your location or device details to anyone who checks.
This works by redrawing your photo onto a blank canvas and exporting a new file from that — canvas only ever holds the visible pixels, never the original file's hidden metadata blocks, so the new file structurally cannot carry over what the original had. The visible image looks the same; what's invisible is what's gone.
This version doesn't display exactly what was in the original file's metadata before removing it — it strips everything unconditionally rather than showing you a list first. If you specifically want to see what a photo reveals before you decide whether to remove it, that's a reasonable feature to want, just not what this version does.
Nothing here touches a server — the image is processed entirely in your browser, and the original file is never uploaded anywhere.
Everything in the file besides the visible image itself — GPS location, camera or phone model, date and time taken, and any other embedded metadata. The method used (redrawing onto a canvas) can’t selectively keep some metadata and remove the rest; it’s all or nothing.
There’s a very small amount of re-encoding involved, exported at high quality specifically to keep this close to unnoticeable — but if you need a byte-for-byte identical image with only metadata removed, a specialized desktop tool designed for that exact purpose would be more precise.
Not in this version — it strips everything unconditionally rather than displaying the original metadata first. If that’s something you specifically need, it’s a reasonable feature request for a future version.
No — the entire process happens in your browser. Your original photo is never sent to a server.
