How to remove EXIF data (and GPS location) from photos

Phones embed a lot into every photo: the device, the exposure settings, the exact time — and often the precise GPS coordinates of where you stood. Share the file and you share all of it.

Step by step

1. 1Open the EXIF Viewer & Cleaner and drop in a photo.
2. 2Review what it reveals — if there's a GPS location, it's flagged in amber with a map link.
3. 3Click "Download clean copy" to save a version with every metadata block removed.

Does cleaning reduce quality?

No. For JPEG, PNG and WebP the metadata blocks are removed without re-encoding the image, so the pixels are byte-for-byte identical. Colour profiles are kept so the photo still looks right.

Everything runs in your browser — the photo you're checking is never uploaded. Make it a habit before posting photos publicly.
