Remove location from a photo

See what your photo reveals, then download a clean copy. Everything happens in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

To remove the location from a photo, choose it below and tap Remove location. You will see the location, camera and date stored in the photo, then you can download a copy with none of these details. Most JPG and PNG files keep their exact image quality. Nothing is uploaded.

How to remove location from a photo

  1. Choose your photo

    Tap Choose a photo, or drop a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC file onto the box above.

  2. See what it contains

    Tap Remove location. The page shows any location, camera and date found in the photo.

  3. Download the clean copy

    Tap Download, then share this copy instead of the original.

What is EXIF data?

EXIF is hidden information saved inside a photo: the camera or phone model, the date and time, settings like exposure and, if location was on, the GPS coordinates of where it was taken.

Those coordinates can point to your home, school or workplace. Removing them before you post a photo or send it to someone you do not know is a simple privacy habit.

On iPhone

In Photos, select the photos, tap the Share button, tap Options and turn off Location before you share. To remove the location from a photo in your library, open it, tap the More button, then Adjust Info, Adjust Location and No Location. Formatly can also keep or remove EXIF and GPS details for every photo it converts.

Questions and answers

Is this location remover free?
Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up and cleans one photo at a time.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser on your own device. Your photo is never sent to a server.
Does removing the location change the image?
Most JPG and PNG files keep their exact pixels: only the hidden details are removed. HEIC and WebP photos, and JPGs that need rotating, are saved again as a high quality JPG.
Don’t apps remove the location anyway?
Some platforms remove it when they show a photo, but email attachments and file links usually keep it. Removing it yourself means you do not have to rely on that.
