Remove GPS geotags from a photo
Check whether a photo reveals GPS coordinates, then remove them so it no longer discloses where it was taken. Everything runs in your browser.
Privacy-first: every image is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or transmitted to any server.
Geotags: precise by design
A GPS geotag is not a vague hint — it is latitude and longitude recorded to several decimal places, plus often altitude and direction. Anyone with the file can drop those coordinates into a map. The risk concentrates where metadata survives: email, messaging in document mode, cloud drives and direct file transfers.
Surgical removal, everything else intact
This tool removes exactly the GPS block while preserving whatever else you want to keep — capture date, camera model, settings — which photographers appreciate. The cleaned copy is verified on the spot. Fittingly for a location-privacy tool, processing is local: coordinates are never uploaded to be “removed” on a server.
Frequently asked questions
- What EXIF data can be removed?
- All of it — camera make and model, software, timestamps, exposure settings and orientation, plus embedded thumbnails, XMP and other metadata blocks.
- Is GPS removed?
- Yes. Removing metadata strips GPS latitude and longitude, so your photos no longer reveal where they were taken.
- Is my image uploaded?
- No. Reading and removing metadata happens entirely in your browser — your photo never leaves your device.
- How does removal work?
- PixelVault re-encodes the image pixels through a canvas, which produces a clean copy that carries no metadata at all.
- Does removing metadata change the picture?
- No. The visible image is unchanged; only the hidden data is removed.
