How it works

Every photo carries hidden metadata — the camera make and model, the exact moment it was taken, and surprisingly often the GPS coordinates of where you were standing. Drop your images in and the tool reads that EXIF data on your device and shows you what's buried in each file before you share it.

The parser loads only when you need it and runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. To clean a photo, it's redrawn through a canvas — a fresh copy that's just the pixels, with every EXIF, GPS, and timestamp tag left behind — and handed straight back to you.

Why GPS removal matters

One holiday snapshot can give away your home address if its GPS tag tags along. Messaging apps usually strip this, but emailed files, cloud backups, and plain downloads often keep it. Clearing it before you post is a quick, lasting privacy win — and since it all happens on your device, the original location never leaves your hands.

Questions

Why remove EXIF data?

Photos quietly carry your GPS location, the exact time, and your camera or phone model. Post one online and you can give away where you live or were standing — stripping the EXIF closes that gap.

How does removal work?

The photo is redrawn through a canvas and re-saved, which drops every tag while keeping the picture itself. The clean copy downloads straight to you, with no upload anywhere.

Can I see what was in the file first?

Yes. The tool lists the EXIF tags it finds (GPS included, if it's there) so you can see exactly what you're about to remove before you download the clean version.
