Your photos know where you live
Every phone photo carries EXIF metadata: the device you used, when you took it, your camera settings — and unless you've turned it off, the exact GPS coordinates. Post that photo of your new couch to a marketplace and you've published your home address. Drop a photo above and this tool shows exactly what's embedded, flags location data in amber, and gives you a clean copy.
When to strip metadata
Before selling anything online with photos taken at home, before posting to forums or listing sites, before emailing photos to strangers, and before sharing documents photographed with your phone. Social networks mostly strip EXIF on upload, but messengers, email and cloud links usually don't.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data and why remove it?
Metadata embedded in every photo: device, dates, settings, and often GPS coordinates. Removing it stops a shared photo from revealing where it was taken.
What does "lossless" mean here?
The metadata segments are cut out of the JPEG byte stream directly — no recompression, so the image quality is completely unchanged.
Are my photos uploaded?
No — parsed and rewritten in your browser. Uploading a photo to remove its location data would defeat the purpose.
Don't social networks do this for me?
Mostly yes on upload — but messengers, email, drives and forums often don't. Strip it yourself first.
