Free tools/GPS remover
Your home is not a caption.
A phone photo usually carries the exact coordinates of where it was taken, and a listing, a post or a client gallery carries them on. Drop the batch: each file comes back without them the instant it lands, on your own machine, every other tag with them, and the image itself never recompressed (a sideways original is turned upright, and that one change is not lossless). Each file opens a report with the place on a map.

Location removed the instant they land, and every other tag with it. The image data is never recompressed, except to turn a sideways original upright. Up to 200. Nothing leaves this machine.
No upload. Files never leave your device.Pixels copied. Never recompressed, except to turn a sideways original upright.No account. Free, no trial.Works offline after the first visit.
Color
Your tones render the same everywhere. The profile says nothing about you.
Rotation
The rotation tag goes with the rest, so a sideways original is turned upright first. That one change is not lossless.

WHAT GETS REMOVED
The coordinates, and
everything else the pixels do not need.
A JPEG is segments: image data, and everything bolted on. The strip copies the image segments and drops the rest, byte for byte.
01, REMOVED
EXIF, XMP and IPTC, whole
Camera and lens, body and lens serial numbers, every exposure setting, capture date, software, edit history, keywords, star ratings, and the GPS block: latitude, longitude, altitude and the time you were there.
02, REMOVED
The hidden extras
The embedded thumbnail (which can survive edits and show the uncropped frame), comment segments, and trailing data after the image ends, where some phones tuck an entire motion clip.
03, KEPT
Your pixels, exactly
The image data is copied, not re-encoded, so nothing is lost and the strip takes milliseconds. The color profile stays by default so your tones render the same everywhere. One exception: a sideways original is turned upright once, because the rotation tag goes with the rest. That change is not lossless.
04, WHY BEFORE UPLOAD
Platforms are not your privacy plan
Instagram strips most metadata on upload, after it has read the file on its servers. Your portfolio, your email attachments and most website uploaders strip nothing. Clean the file before it leaves your machine and the question never comes up.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you post.
Want to see what a file carries first?
The EXIF viewer reads without changing anything, and the metadata guide maps everything that lives inside a photo file.
Does this remove the GPS location from a photo?
Yes. The GPS tags (latitude, longitude, altitude, direction and the GPS timestamp) are removed, and so is the rest of the EXIF, XMP and IPTC the file carried. The image data is copied, not recompressed; a sideways original turned upright is the one exception.
Are my photos uploaded to remove the location?
No. The removal runs inside your browser; the files never leave your device and nothing persists after you close the tab. That is the point of doing it here rather than on a server.
Which photos carry location data?
Almost every photo taken on a phone with location services on, and any camera or app that geotags. Each file shows whether it carried coordinates before it was cleaned, in red, and its report puts the place on a map.
Does removing GPS data reduce image quality?
No. The image data is never recompressed. The one exception is a photo stored sideways with a rotation tag, which is rotated upright once at maximum quality so it does not lie on its side after the tag is gone.
Does Instagram or WhatsApp remove location anyway?
Most large platforms strip location on upload, after reading the file on their servers. Email attachments, portfolio sites, marketplaces and many uploaders strip nothing. Cleaning the file before it leaves your device covers every destination at once.
Can I remove only the GPS and keep the camera info?
Not here. This tool removes the location and every other tag together, which is the safe default for anything going public. If you need camera and copyright kept for a client delivery, keep the originals for that and send cleaned copies elsewhere.
Is it free?
Yes. Batches of 200, as many as you like, the ZIP download and the per file report, with no account and no email.
