Frequently asked questions
Why do photos have location data attached?
Most smartphones and digital cameras automatically record GPS coordinates in the image EXIF metadata when location permissions are enabled. While convenient for personal sorting, this data can inadvertently reveal private addresses when photos are shared.
Does removing location data reduce image quality?
No, removing GPS tags only modifies the metadata headers stored inside the file. The image pixels themselves are not recompressed or altered.
Are my photos uploaded to a remote server?
No, the tool operates entirely within your browser on your device. Your photos are never transmitted or stored on an external server.
What photo formats support GPS removal?
The tool works with common photographic formats that store EXIF geotags, such as JPEG and JPG files.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, you can remove location data from your photos for free without registering or providing an email address.
