How this tool works
What it does
Re-encodes a photo to drop its EXIF block, removing GPS along with all other metadata.
Not selective
It does not edit only GPS fields; it produces a fresh file with no metadata.
Format & transparency
JPG flattens transparency onto a colour; PNG/WebP keep it only when the source has an alpha channel.
Privacy
Decoding, re-encoding and verification all happen in your browser.
GPS Data Remover from Photo in your browser
GPS Data Remover from Photo removes location data from a photo by re-encoding it on a browser canvas, which drops the EXIF block where GPS coordinates live. It does not selectively edit only the GPS fields — it produces a fresh file that contains no embedded metadata at all.
Before processing, it checks whether the source actually contains GPS and EXIF data and reports what it found. After encoding, it re-reads the output and confirms that no EXIF or GPS markers remain.
Choose JPG, PNG, WebP, or keep the source format where possible. JPG flattens any transparency onto a background colour, and animated GIFs are processed as a single still frame.

Frequently asked questions
Does GPS Data Remover from Photo remove only GPS, or all metadata?
It removes all embedded metadata. Re-encoding the image drops the entire EXIF block — including GPS — rather than editing individual GPS fields. The result reports whether GPS was present in the source.
Does GPS Data Remover from Photo confirm the GPS data is gone?
Yes. It parses the source for GPS/EXIF first, then re-reads the output and checks that no EXIF or GPS markers remain, reporting the output as verified clean when none are found.
Does GPS Data Remover from Photo keep PNG transparency?
Only when the source photo has an alpha channel and you pick PNG or WebP for the cleaned output. Choosing JPG to guarantee GPS removal flattens any transparent areas onto your selected background colour.
What happens to an animated GIF in GPS Data Remover from Photo?
Only the first frame is kept. The GIF is drawn once onto the canvas and re-encoded, which strips its GPS and other metadata but does not carry the animation through to the cleaned file.
Are my photos uploaded to remove GPS data?
No. The photo is decoded, re-encoded and verified entirely in your browser; no file is sent to a server.
