🗺️ How to Remove Geotag from Photos (Multiple)
Managing privacy for many photos? Geotags inside EXIF can reveal your movements and routine. Here’s a simple, repeatable approach to clean location data across albums.
For maximum safety, export copies without location and verify a few samples. For the most sensitive images, run a quick single-photo cleanup with MetaRemover directly in your browser.
🔍 What should be removed?
- GPS position (lat/long/alt)
- GPS date/time and track/heading
- Any location fields in EXIF/IPTC/XMP
Avoid re-encoding; prefer export-without-location or metadata-only removal.
💡 Why this workflow?
- Consistent privacy across large sets
- Minimal quality risk — no recompression required
- Quick verification with an EXIF viewer
- Extra protection for sensitive photos
🛠️ Practical steps
- Group photos by event/album.
- Export copies without location metadata in your editor/OS.
- Verify several images in an EXIF viewer (GPS fields empty).
- Run sensitive singles through MetaRemover if needed.
