Protect exact locations

Remove GPS From a Photo

Photo coordinates can identify a home, workplace, school, or travel location. The scanner displays them locally and never loads a map automatically.

  • ✓ Latitude and longitude detection
  • ✓ Local-only coordinate display
  • ✓ Explicit external-map consent
  • ✓ Coordinate removal and output verification

The scanner checks supported metadata structures locally and groups findings by practical risk.

  • Location and hidden previews
  • Owner, device, and comment fields
  • Time, software, and technical display data

How this workflow works

From selected file to checked copy

  1. 01

    Check for coordinates

    Read EXIF GPS latitude, longitude, altitude, and direction fields.

  2. 02

    Assess the context

    Decide whether the location could identify somewhere sensitive.

  3. 03

    Remove and verify

    Generate a copy and confirm that GPS fields are no longer present.

Exact local boundary

The image stays out of the request path

The browser reads files only after you choose, drop, or paste them. Parsing, cleaning, redaction, output verification, ZIP creation, and downloads all happen on this device.

Questions about gps remover

Know what the result means

Will Photo Privacy Lab open a map automatically?

No. Opening a third-party map requires a separate explicit action and can disclose the coordinates to that provider.

Can a photo reveal a location without GPS metadata?

Yes. Signs, addresses, landmarks, reflections, and other visible clues can still reveal location.
