GPS Metadata Remover

Upload a photo to strip just its GPS location, keeping camera info and other metadata intact, all processed entirely in your browser.

Photos taken on a phone or GPS-enabled camera often carry the exact coordinates of where they were shot, hidden away in the file’s metadata. This free tool helps you remove gps from photo files before you share them, whether that’s a marketplace listing, a social media post, or a real estate photo you don’t want tied to a home address.

Unlike a full metadata wipe, this tool strips only the GPS tags and leaves everything else in place: camera make and model, date taken, exposure settings, and any IPTC or XMP data stay exactly as they were. That matters if you still want to credit the photographer, keep the capture date for organizing a photo library, or simply avoid stripping information you actually want to keep.

Every step happens locally in your browser using JavaScript, so your photo is never uploaded to a server. If you’re wondering how to remove gps from photo files on a phone specifically, including remove gps from photo iphone workflows, upload the photo here first to strip what’s already embedded, then check your device’s camera settings to stop new photos from being geotagged going forward. As a dedicated gps metadata remover, this tool does exactly one job: it clears the location, nothing more.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove GPS from a photo?+

Upload your photo above. If it contains GPS location data, this tool will detect it and let you strip just the GPS tags while keeping the rest of the photo's metadata intact, then download the cleaned file.

How do I remove GPS from a photo on iPhone?+

For photos already taken, upload them to this tool to strip the embedded location data. To stop future photos from being tagged, go to Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Location Services, then Camera, and set it to Never.

How do I turn off geotagging on my iPhone?+

Open Settings, tap Privacy and Security, then Location Services, then scroll to Camera, and select Never. This prevents the Camera app from recording GPS location in future photos, though it won't remove location data already saved in existing photos.

Can this tool remove a visible GPS watermark stamped on a photo?+

No - this tool removes invisible GPS metadata embedded in the file's EXIF data. If a photo has a visible GPS coordinate stamp burned into the image itself (for example, from a GPS camera stamping app), that requires photo editing to crop or remove, not metadata tools like this one.
