Remove Location & EXIF from Photos
Add photos to see the location and camera details inside. Press “Remove hidden info” to take out only the hidden information, with no quality loss.
“Remove all” still keeps the portrait/landscape orientation, so photos don’t end up sideways.
Your photos are processed on this page only. Nothing is uploaded.

Your phone's settings can help too
On iPhone, you can turn off the location under “Options” when you share a photo. Google Photos says it can't remove a location the camera added automatically. It's easy to forget, and some ways of sending keep the location, so here you can see what's inside before you remove it.

FAQ
Who is this for?
Anyone posting photos on social media, marketplaces or blogs who wants to remove details that could reveal where they live. Anyone sharing work photos outside the company who wants to remove the date and device details first.
What can the location in a photo reveal?
Photos taken with a phone can include the latitude and longitude of where they were taken. If you share the photo as it is, that place can be found on a map. Photos may also include the date taken, the phone or camera model, the software used and the owner's name.
How do I remove EXIF data from an image?
Drop your JPG, PNG or WebP photos on the box (up to 20 at once). Choose “Remove all” or “Remove location only” and press “Remove hidden info”. The result is read again to check, then save each photo or press “Save all”.
Does it reduce the quality?
No. The picture data is not re-encoded; only the hidden information is taken out. What you see is exactly the same as the original.
Will my photo end up sideways?
No. “Remove all” keeps only the orientation information, so portrait photos still show upright.
What happens to motion photos?
Motion photos (for example on Pixel or Galaxy) have a short video attached after the picture, and it can hold the location. This page removes that extra data too, so the saved photo becomes a normal still photo.
How do you check that it's really gone?
The cleaned photo is read again and checked for any location or other information left. If anything is left, saving is blocked.
What's the difference between the two options?
“Remove location only” keeps the date taken and camera model and removes only the location. “Remove all” removes all hidden information except the orientation. If unsure, choose the second.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Photos are read in this page and cleaned on your device. Only if you press “Show on map” does an OpenStreetMap map open in a new tab.
Where do saved photos go on an iPhone?
Files saved from the browser go to Downloads in the Files app. To use them in Photos, share from Files and choose “Save Image”.
Which photos can I use?
JPG, PNG and WebP. iPhone HEIC files aren't supported yet (when you choose photos on an iPhone, they are often passed on as JPG).
Is it free?
Yes, with no sign-up. You can add up to 20 photos at a time; more at once and saving everything as a ZIP are Premium features.
