Why Location Geotags Pose a Privacy Risk

When location services are enabled on iOS, Android, or modern cameras, photos record high-precision geographic telemetry directly into the file header. This data can pinpoint:

Exact Latitude & LongitudePinpoints your physical location within meters, revealing home addresses or private workplaces.
Altitude & ElevationRecords meters above sea level, indicating specific apartment building floors or mountain trails.
Image Direction & HeadingRecords the magnetic compass orientation and bearing the camera was facing at the moment of capture.
GPS Timestamp CorrelationSynchronized atomic satellite time, creating an indisputable timeline of your physical movements.

Zero Server Uploads

Because location data is highly sensitive, transmitting photos to an external cloud API to strip geotags creates the exact exposure risk you want to avoid. Our tool operates 100% inside your browser memory.

Supported Formats

  • JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg): Removes EXIF GPS IFD tags (0x8825 pointer).
  • PNG (.png): Purges embedded eXIf chunks containing coordinates.
  • WebP (.webp): Strips RIFF EXIF chunks holding geotags.

Important Privacy Distinction

Removing GPS metadata deletes binary header coordinates only. It does not alter visual details inside the picture itself. If your photo contains recognizable street signs, building numbers, or distinctive landmarks in the visual pixels, those remain visible unless manually cropped or blurred.
