Remove GPS location coordinates from photos
Smartphone photos frequently embed your exact home address and coordinates in the file. Strip GPS tags and EXIF data cleanly before posting photos online.
How it works
Select your photo
Load your picture into the browser tab directly.
Review detected data
See the embedded location and camera metadata blocks found.
Strip GPS data
Remove geographic coordinates and device tags in a single pass.
It is processed on your machine
This is the kind of content people are most nervous about pasting into a website. Here nothing is transmitted: your browser reads the input, the tool works on it in the tab, and the result is handed straight back. Close the tab and it is gone.
- Opened from your disk by your browser — not sent anywhere first.
- Held in the tab while the tool works, then dropped.
- Saved to your device by your browser, not by a link to a server.
- Closing the tab clears the working copy completely.
- No account, so nothing is ever attached to an identity.
- No tracking of what you worked on or what was inside the file.
There is no queue and no retention policy to read. Whatever you pasted is released the moment the tab closes. See how your data stays inside the tab for the full picture, or follow the DevTools check to verify your file never leaves.
What people use it for
Checking something before you ship it
A quick pass in the browser is faster than wiring up a build step for a one-off job.
Working on a machine you do not control
Because nothing is transmitted, it is safe to use on a shared or locked-down computer.
Handling data you are not allowed to upload
Customer records, keys and internal names often may not leave the organisation at all. Here they do not.

When something goes wrong
Invalid input stops with a plain message that points at the exact problem, rather than a spinner that never finishes.
The content is not in the shape this tool expects. Check for a missing bracket or an extra character and try again.
Why not an online service
A hosted version of this tool means your input is transmitted to a server you have no relationship with. Removing that step removes the whole category of risk.

Questions
Why remove GPS data from photos?
Photos taken on smartphones usually embed exact latitude and longitude coordinates, which can reveal your home address or workplace.
Does removing GPS data change picture quality?
No. The visual image data is not compressed or modified; only the hidden EXIF metadata header is removed.
Are my personal photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read, stripped, and downloaded entirely inside your browser. No photo data ever leaves your device.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit is imposed by the tool. The practical ceiling is how much memory your device has free, because the whole job runs inside this browser tab.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes, once the page has loaded. Nothing is fetched while you work, so a dropped connection does not interrupt a run.
Do I need an account or an email address?
No. There is nothing to sign up for, and nothing is ever attached to an identity because no file leaves your device.
