How to Remove GPS Location from a Photo

A geotag can pin your home, school or favourite spot to the exact coordinate from a single shared image. Removing just the GPS block kills that leak while you keep the rest of the picture untouched. It is one drag-and-drop away.

The short version

Follow the steps below with the free Remove GPS Location from Photo tool — it runs entirely in your browser, needs no upload, account or watermark, and finishes in about a minute.

Step by step

1
Add the photo(s)

Load the images you are about to share.

2
Strip the geotags

Run the GPS stripper to remove location coordinates from the metadata.

3
Verify location is gone

Use the viewer to confirm no latitude/longitude remains.

4
Download and post

Share freely knowing the “where” is gone.

Pro tips & common mistakes

  • Strip GPS on originals before any post — social sites may keep hidden data even if they hide it.
  • Phones geotag most camera shots by default; assume every personal photo has coordinates.
  • Full EXIF removal also deletes GPS; use the GPS-only tool if you want to keep camera settings.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know a photo has GPS?
Open it with the metadata viewer — if coordinates show, it is geotagged.
Does removing GPS delete the photo?
No — only the location tags are removed; the image is unchanged.
Do social platforms strip location for me?
Many do on re-upload, but not all — safest is to remove it yourself first.
