Posting photos from your home
GPS coordinates in EXIF reveal exact location. Stripping before posting on social, dating apps, or marketplace listings protects against location stalking.

What this does
Strip EXIF metadata from photos — GPS, camera info, timestamps, all gone.
Every photo from your phone contains hidden metadata: where it was taken (GPS coordinates), what camera shot it (model, serial number), and exactly when. Most people don't realize they're sharing this data when they post or send photos. Drop your image in, download a clean version with all metadata removed. Runs in your browser.
How to strip EXIF data
- 1
Drop your image
JPG, HEIC, or PNG. The tool reads the current EXIF and shows what's about to be removed (GPS coordinates, camera model, timestamps, software, etc.).
- 2
Confirm and download
The cleaned image looks visually identical but has zero metadata. Original is untouched.
When EXIF stripping matters
Selling on eBay, Etsy, Facebook Marketplace
Product photos shot at your home contain your address. Strip EXIF before listing to keep buyers from knowing where you live.
Source protection
Photos sent to journalists or whistleblower outlets contain camera serial number — traceable to the owner. Always strip before sending.
Listing photos to MLS
Photographer-supplied photos may contain their location/camera info. Brokerages strip EXIF before MLS upload to avoid leaking photographer details.
Selling on stock platforms
Stock platforms typically auto-strip EXIF, but checking your own copy before upload prevents accidental personal info leakage.
Submitting photos as evidence
Sometimes you want EXIF (proves when/where taken). Other times you want it stripped (protect witness location). Depends on the case.
EXIF tips
- 01
Resizing also strips EXIF (usually)
If you're resizing for upload anyway, the resize process often strips EXIF as a side effect. Use our Image Resizer if you need both.
- 02
Social media re-strips automatically
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter all strip EXIF on upload. But if you're sending the original via email, message, or AirDrop, EXIF stays — strip first.
- 03
Screenshots usually don't have EXIF
Screenshots are generated by your OS, not your camera. They have minimal metadata. EXIF stripping is mostly relevant for photos taken with a camera (phone or otherwise).
- 04
GPS isn't always visible — but it's there
Photos look the same regardless of EXIF. You won't know it's leaking GPS until someone looks. Default to stripping for anything public-facing.

Frequently asked
The tool removes embedded EXIF metadata such as GPS location, camera model, and capture details.
Only minimal re-encoding changes may occur. You can tune quality before download.
EXIF can leak private location and device data. Removing it reduces accidental data exposure.
Yes. If metadata exists, the output image is re-exported without those hidden fields.
If GPS tagging was on, yes — the exact coordinates are embedded in the file. Anyone with a free EXIF viewer can read them. Strip metadata before posting photos taken at home.
Most big platforms strip it on upload, but email, cloud drives, and direct file transfers do not. Scrub before sending, not after.
Slightly — metadata is usually a few KB. The point is privacy, not compression: camera serial numbers, GPS, and timestamps all go.
