📍 How To Remove Location From Photos — Quick & Private
Modern phones embed GPS coordinates in photo metadata (EXIF). When you share a picture, this hidden data can reveal where it was taken — sometimes down to a precise address.
MetaRemover deletes geotags entirely in your browser. No uploads, no tracking, no quality loss — just a clean image you can share safely.
🔍 What location data gets removed?
- 📌 GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude)
- 🕒 Time zone & capture time (linked with location)
- 📷 Device make/model and app tags that can hint location
💡 Why remove location before sharing?
- 🔐 Protect home/work addresses and routine places
- ⚡ Instant, local cleaning — no file leaves your device
- 🖼️ JPG / PNG / WebP — pixels remain untouched
- 🧠 Simple: drag, clean, download
🛠️ How it works
- Drop your photo into the tool.
- Optionally review EXIF to confirm GPS is present.
- Click Clean — geotags and other metadata are removed.
- Download the location-free image.
Cleaning metadata never changes image quality.
✅ Tips for iPhone & Android
- Disable location tagging in Camera app settings to stop adding GPS to new photos.
- Even if disabled now, old photos may still contain geotags — clean them before sharing.
