See what's hidden

Before cleaning, the tool shows the GPS location, camera model and date stored in each photo, so you know what you would have shared.

No quality loss

Metadata is removed byte-for-byte from JPG, PNG and WebP files; the image itself is untouched.

Safer selling and sharing

Clean photos before posting on Vinted, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, dating sites or forums, so strangers can't see where you live.

Questions

Do my photos really contain my location?

Usually, yes. Phones save the GPS coordinates of where each photo was taken inside the file (EXIF data) unless location is turned off for the camera. Anyone who gets the original file can read it.

Don't social networks remove it anyway?

Big platforms like Facebook and Instagram strip it from public images, but email, WhatsApp documents, marketplaces, forums, cloud links and many websites keep the original file intact.

Does removing metadata reduce quality?

No. For JPG, PNG and WebP the hidden data is cut out without re-compressing the picture. Only rotated photos and HEIC files are re-saved as high-quality JPG.

How do I stop my phone adding location?

iPhone: Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Camera > Never. Android: open the Camera app settings and turn off location tags. You can also remove location when sharing from the iPhone share sheet (Options > Location).

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device. Your files are never sent to a server, which is faster and keeps private photos and documents private.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
