How to Remove GPS Location and Hidden Data from Photos Before Sharing

By Nattanon Roddeth · Last updated October 21, 2026

Photos taken on a phone often carry hidden EXIF data, such as the date taken, the device model and sometimes GPS location. Some chat apps strip it when you send, but other channels don't.

Why remove it

If you send a photo taken at home or work to a stranger, such as when selling something online, the location in the photo may reveal your address by accident.

How to do it with this site's tool

1. Open the Remove Photo Data tool
2. Choose the photo and tap Remove hidden data
3. Read the result, which says whether GPS was found in the original
4. Save the cleaned photo and send it

Good to know

• It does not remove what is visible in the picture, such as a house sign or license plate
• A JPG is saved again, so quality drops slightly
• The GPS check only works on JPG files
• Your photo is never uploaded to a server
