About this tool
Removes the shooting metadata (EXIF) stored alongside a photo. That data can include not just capture time and camera model but GPS coordinates, so clearing it before publishing prevents unintended disclosure.
When to use it
- —Stripping location from photos taken at home or work before posting publicly
- —Keeping the shooting location out of secondhand-sale listings
- —Hiding device details and camera settings before handing a photo over
Good to know
- —If your phone's location tagging is on, photos carry precise coordinates. Checking before publishing is a good habit.
- —Some messaging apps strip EXIF on send, but not all of them do.
- —After stripping, sorting by capture date no longer works, so keep the original.
