Remove location data from photos
Photos often record exactly where they were taken. Strip that GPS location — plus other metadata if you like — before sharing, all locally in your browser.
Privacy-first: every image is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or transmitted to any server.
Your photos know where you live
Phones embed GPS coordinates in nearly every photo by default — precise enough to identify a building. Post a marketplace listing, a rental photo or a kid’s birthday picture through a channel that keeps metadata (email, cloud links, “send as file”), and the location travels with it.
See it, strip it, verify
Load a photo and the tool shows whether location data is present — including a map link to see exactly what it reveals. Strip it (alone, or with other metadata) and the cleaned file is re-inspected so you can verify nothing remains. JPG cleaning is lossless, batches are supported, and the photo itself never leaves your browser.
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.
