Check and remove location data from a photo
Inspect the selected image for readable GPS latitude, longitude, altitude, and related timestamps. Clean the file locally and verify the output before sharing it.
Location metadata is specific, detectable, and worth checking
The tool warns only when readable GPS latitude or longitude evidence is present. It does not guess a location from the visible image or claim a missing field was never recorded.
When GPS is present, the report identifies the source fields that triggered the location finding instead of displaying a generic warning.
Coordinates are not sent to an external map, geocoder, analytics provider, or server. Inspection remains inside this browser tab.
The cleaned output is inspected again for readable GPS and other supported exposure fields before the download is presented as verified.
“Verified” means the cleaned file was reinspected and no personal-exposure fields supported by this tool were detected. It does not mean a file is anonymous, safe in every context, or free of visible personal information.
Image metadata questions
Do all phone photos contain GPS location?
No. It depends on camera permissions, device settings, the app used, and whether another service stripped the metadata. The tool reports what is readable in the selected copy.
Does removing GPS change the picture?
JPEG GPS and related metadata are removed without recompressing JPEG pixels. PNG and WebP images are re-encoded, which can change the file's bytes or size.
Can a screenshot reveal location without GPS metadata?
Yes. Visible addresses, map labels, landmarks, reflections, notifications, or text can reveal location. This tool inspects file metadata, not the meaning of visible pixels.
Will social media remove location automatically?
Some services remove metadata, but behaviour varies and can change. Cleaning and verifying the exact copy you intend to share gives you a result you can inspect directly.
