Location privacy

Remove GPS coordinates before you share a photo.

A photo can record the location where it was taken. Check a JPEG or HEIC for standard EXIF coordinates, then make a JPEG copy without the original metadata.

Choose a JPEG or HEIC. If GPS coordinates appear, use the clean-copy action to remove them along with other metadata.

How GPS gets into a photo

A phone may write latitude and longitude into photo metadata when camera location access is enabled. Some cameras can also add location information directly or through a connected phone. A location-aware app may add or change location later.

Moving the original file between devices is not a reliable way to remove that information. Inspect the file you plan to send, especially if it was downloaded from cloud storage or exported by another app.

What the checker shows

If standard EXIF GPS latitude and longitude are present, the tool displays coordinates rounded to five decimal places. If it says “Not found,” it found no valid coordinates in those standard fields. The photo may still reveal a place visually, and less common metadata formats are outside this quick check.

Remove the coordinates

  1. Choose a JPEG or HEIC and review the scan result.
  2. Select Remove metadata & verify. The browser creates a new JPEG from the photo.
  3. Download the new file only after the second scan passes, then inspect its appearance.
This action removes more than GPS. If you need to preserve selected EXIF fields, use a dedicated metadata editor with selective removal.

For iPhone sharing directly from Photos, Apple also documents a share-sheet option to turn off Location before sending. See the iPhone guide.
