How to Remove EXIF & GPS Data From Photos Before Posting
That photo you're about to post online carries hidden metadata (EXIF): the camera model, the date and time, and often the exact GPS coordinates where it was taken. Post a picture from home and you may be publishing your address.

What's hidden in your photos
- GPS location (latitude/longitude) — the big privacy risk.
- Date and time taken.
- Device — camera or phone model, sometimes the serial number.
- Edit history and software used.
Most social networks strip this on upload — but not all, and not messaging apps, email, or your own cloud backups.
See what's in a photo, then remove it
- Open File Metadata.
- Upload your photo to see exactly what it's carrying (including GPS).
- Remove the metadata and download a clean copy — same picture, no hidden data.
Because this matters, the metadata tool runs entirely in your browser — your photo is never uploaded. See all our private, in-browser tools.
