How to do it

  1. Pick your images

    Drop them in or choose them. Several at once is fine.

  2. See what is in there

    Camera, time, exposure - and the location, which you can put on a map if you want to.

  3. Remove and download

    Either the location only or everything. Several images come back as a ZIP.

What this is for

Every photo from a phone carries a second set of data nobody sees: when it was taken, on what, at which exposure - and, as a rule, where. The location is in there to within a few metres.

That is rarely a problem and occasionally exactly one. A picture from your own living room in a classifieds listing names your address along with it; a holiday photo in a forum names the hotel. Most large platforms strip the data on upload - but only most, and anything that leaves by mail or messenger leaves complete.

Here you first see what is actually in there, and then decide. Usually taking out the location is enough: the capture time and the copyright line are worth keeping, the coordinates of your home are not.

The picture itself is left alone. Only the data block is removed; the image data is copied byte for byte rather than re-encoded. The result has exactly the quality of the original - unlike any route that sends the picture through a conversion again.

Common questions

No. They are read in your browser and changed there too. Your images never leave your device.

No. It is not re-encoded - only the data block at the start of the file is replaced. The image data itself is byte for byte identical to the original afterwards.

Then there is none. Screenshots, images saved from the web and anything that has already been through a large platform usually carry nothing any more.

No, only when you click. Map tiles come from someone else's server, and asking it about your location unprompted would be the opposite of what this tool is for. The coordinate is readable without the map.

Because not everything is equally sensitive. The time helps you sort, the copyright line belongs to the picture - the coordinates of your home do not belong online. If you want all of it gone, that works too.

For now, JPG only. That is the format cameras and phones store their capture data in; PNG does not know it in this form at all.
