How to remove GPS geotags from photos
Scrub sensitive geolocation tags in three straightforward steps.
Drop your photos into the tool
Select or drop single or multiple smartphone photos directly into the browser.
Inspect embedded coordinates
See whether an exact latitude and longitude is embedded, including map location.
Erase GPS tags & download
One click wipes the GPS tags completely while keeping the original image intact.
Why you should always remove GPS data before sharing photos
Modern smartphones record your exact coordinates on every shutter click.
Selling on Craigslist & Marketplaces
Photos of valuable items (cars, electronics, jewelry) taken in your driveway or living room reveal your exact physical address to strangers.
Protecting Your Home & Family
Posting photos of children, pets, or your house on social media or forums leaks precise GPS coordinates that stalkers can plot on maps.
Anonymous & Investigative Journalism
When submitting whistleblower photos or documentation, GPS metadata can compromise the identity and location of sources.
Secret Travel & Wildlife Locations
Photographers use geotag scrubbing to protect fragile ecosystems, endangered wildlife nesting areas, and private retreats.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
Do iPhones and Android phones attach GPS coordinates automatically?
Yes. By default, iOS and Android camera apps embed precise latitude and longitude into every photo using the phone's GPS receiver, unless Location Services for the camera are explicitly disabled in system settings.
Does social media strip GPS data when I upload?
Major platforms like Instagram and Twitter usually recompress images and remove EXIF tags on their public feeds. However, messaging apps (like Telegram in uncompressed mode, AirDrop, email attachments, Discord file uploads) and forums (Reddit, Craigslist) often preserve the original files with all GPS tags intact.
Can I verify that the GPS coordinates have truly been removed?
Yes. After downloading the cleaned photo, you can drag it back into this tool or open it in any EXIF viewer or Preview/Photos app on your computer. You will see that the GPS IFD directory is 100% empty.
Will erasing GPS affect photo colors or sharpness?
Not at all. The geolocation information is stored strictly in metadata headers. Visual pixel data and color profiles remain identical.
