How to remove the location
- Drop your photo above, or choose it from your device.
- Look for "GPS location" in the list of what was found. The coordinates are shown so you can see what would have been shared.
- Download the cleaned copy.
- Check that the card says Clean. That confirms no location data is left in the new file.
Many social networks remove location data when you upload a photo, but you cannot count on that everywhere. Files sent as attachments, or shared as originals, usually keep it.

Questions
Does removing the GPS location change the picture?
No. The image is not re-compressed, so the pixels stay exactly the same. Only the hidden data is removed.
Can I stop my phone from saving the location?
Yes. Most phones let you turn off location for the camera app, so new photos are saved without it. The menus differ by phone and software version.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs on your device, and the tool does not download any extra files to process your photos.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
No. The tool removes the metadata blocks from the file without re-compressing the image, so the pixels stay exactly the same.
Why keep the photo rotation?
Phones often store a photo sideways and use a rotation tag to display it upright. If you remove that tag, the photo may appear rotated. The rotation tag holds no personal information, so keeping it is safe. You can turn it off.
Does it remove the data from the original file?
No. Your original file is not changed. You download a new, cleaned copy.
Which files can it clean?
JPG, PNG and WebP. Other formats, like HEIC from iPhones, are not supported yet. Convert them to JPG first.
