EXIF/Metadata Stripper — Remove GPS Location From Photos

Most phone cameras embed EXIF metadata in every photo — including precise GPS coordinates of where it was taken, plus camera model and timestamp — that stays in the file when you share it unless you strip it first. This removes that metadata entirely in your browser, so neither the photo nor its hidden location data is ever uploaded anywhere.

How to use Metadata Stripper

1. Upload your photo.
2. Review the metadata found (including GPS if present).
3. Strip it and download the cleaned image.

Frequently asked questions

Does my phone really embed GPS location in photos?

Yes — by default, most smartphones embed precise GPS coordinates in every photo's EXIF data, which stays in the file (and is extractable by anyone) unless you strip it before sharing.

Is my photo uploaded to check for metadata?

No. The photo is read and the metadata stripped entirely in your browser using the File API — it is never transmitted to a server.

Does stripping metadata reduce image quality?

No — EXIF metadata is separate from the pixel data, so removing it does not affect image quality or resolution at all.
