What You Can Do with This EXIF and Photo Location Remover

Photos from phones and digital cameras can include EXIF metadata such as capture date, device model, lens details, and GPS location. This tool helps you check photo metadata in JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC images and remove information you do not want to publish.

What EXIF Data Is and What You Can Check

EXIF is metadata saved inside a photo. It may include the camera model, date and time, shutter speed, ISO, GPS location, and editing software. Before removing anything, this page shows a summary of detected metadata. If GPS data is present, it also shows latitude, longitude, and a Google Maps link. Metadata is useful for organizing photos, but it can also reveal where you live, where you work, or where a photo was taken.

Metadata This Tool Can Remove

GPS Location

Remove latitude, longitude, altitude, direction, and other location-related data.

Capture Date

Remove date and time fields such as DateTimeOriginal from public copies.

Camera and Lens Details

Remove maker, model, lens name, focal length, aperture, ISO, and similar camera details.

Editing Software Data

Online EXIF Removal for Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android

This is a no-install web tool, so you can use it from a Windows PC, Mac, iPhone, Android phone, Chromebook, or tablet. If you just need a free EXIF remover, you do not have to install a desktop app. The photo is handled locally in your browser. You can also clean multiple images at once; batch results are saved as a ZIP file.

When You Only Want to Remove Location from a JPG or JPEG

For JPG and JPEG photos, choose "Remove location only" to remove GPS-related EXIF fields while keeping capture date and camera information where possible. After loading a photo, check whether GPS data was detected, then choose the cleanup option that matches how you plan to share it. PNG and WebP images are saved with the full publishing cleanup mode.

How to Stop iPhone from Saving Photo Location

To stop future iPhone photos from saving location data, open Settings, go to Privacy & Security, then Location Services, and change Camera location access. When sharing an existing photo from the Photos app, open Options in the share sheet and turn off Location before sending. iOS labels can vary slightly by version, so it is still a good idea to check EXIF data before publishing a photo.

Before Posting to Social Media, Marketplaces, or Blogs

Some services remove EXIF data automatically, but behavior can change depending on the app, upload method, or file type. Photo location data can accidentally reveal where a picture was taken. Creating a cleaned copy on your own device gives you a more predictable file to share.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. It works in browsers on Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android. You can process photos on your device without installing a desktop app.
Q Can I use it to check whether a photo has location information? +
Yes. Before removing data, you can check capture date, camera information, GPS location, and other metadata. If GPS is found, the tool shows latitude, longitude, and a Google Maps link.
Q Can I remove only the location information from a JPG or JPEG? +
Yes. For JPEG images, choose "Remove location only." GPS-related EXIF data is removed while capture date and camera information are kept where possible.

For JPEG files, EXIF metadata is removed with binary processing while preserving image orientation, so the file is not recompressed. PNG and WebP images are re-encoded through Canvas, so browser behavior may vary slightly.
Q Are my photos uploaded to a server? +
No. Loading, analysis, and saved-file creation happen inside your browser.

Yes. HEIC and HEIF images can be loaded and saved as JPEG copies with photo metadata removed.
Q Can I add location information to an image or JPEG? +
No. This tool is for checking and removing EXIF metadata, not adding location information. Use it before publishing or sharing photos.
