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

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

- Owner, device, and comment fields
- Time, software, and technical display data
Choose a JPEG, PNG, or static WebP file to begin.
How this workflow works
From selected file to checked copy
- 01
Check for coordinates
Read EXIF GPS latitude, longitude, altitude, and direction fields.
- 02
Assess the context
Decide whether the location could identify somewhere sensitive.
- 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.

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.
