Drop any photo to view its metadata
JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, AVIF. Your file never leaves this device.
Drop or select one JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF or AVIF image.
Review detected coordinates, the optional map link and the selected EXIF fields the viewer finds.
Choose Remove all metadata. The new Canvas export does not copy GPS or other source metadata blocks.
A PNG input stays PNG. Every other accepted and decodable input becomes a JPEG at 92% quality.
A phone or GPS-enabled camera can record latitude and longitude when location access is available. Editing software may preserve those fields when it exports a new copy. The data is invisible in the picture itself but readable from the file.
This tool previews the selected GPS and EXIF fields it detects. Removal then draws the visible pixels onto Canvas and creates a new file without copying the source metadata blocks.
The output is a newly encoded image
PNG inputs remain PNG. All other accepted inputs become JPEG at 92% quality, which can slightly change pixels and cannot preserve transparency. Width and height remain unchanged.
Marketplace listings
A GPS-tagged product photo taken at home can reveal where the item is stored.
Direct file sharing
The original file may retain coordinates when a service does not strip metadata.
Children's photos
Home, school and regular activity locations should not travel inside shared originals.
Public websites
Visitors may download the published file and inspect any embedded GPS fields.
Sensitive reporting
Coordinates can expose sources, subjects or places that were meant to stay private.
Personal safety
A photo sent from a protected location can disclose that place if GPS data remains.
Phone settings change over time, but the control is normally under the Camera app's location permission or geotagging setting. Disable that permission if you do not want future camera files to store coordinates.
iPhone
Open Settings, find Privacy & Security, open Location Services, choose Camera, then select Never. Labels may vary by iOS version.
Android
Open Camera settings and disable Location tags, Save location or Geotagging. The name and location vary by manufacturer.
Expecting GPS-only editing
This tool removes all source metadata by creating a new image. It does not preserve the other EXIF fields.
Assuming the original format stays unchanged
Only PNG remains PNG. WebP, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF and AVIF outputs become JPEG.
Assuming there is no quality change
Non-PNG inputs are re-encoded as lossy JPEG at 92% quality.
Forgetting visible location clues
Street signs, house numbers, landmarks and reflections can still reveal a place after GPS is removed.
Dropping a batch
Only the first dropped file is handled. Process and download one photo before choosing another.
Expecting every accepted format to decode
HEIC, TIFF and AVIF removal depends on browser decoding support.

No. The tool does not selectively edit the GPS fields. It creates a new image through Canvas without copying any source metadata blocks, so camera details, dates and other embedded metadata are removed along with GPS.
It can. PNG inputs are re-exported as PNG. Every other accepted input is re-encoded as JPEG at 92% quality, which is lossy and may slightly change the pixels or file size.
Only PNG inputs stay PNG. JPEG, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF and AVIF inputs download as JPEG. Transparent non-PNG inputs can therefore lose transparency.
Yes. Removing coordinates prevents them from being read from the file, but visible landmarks, addresses, signs and reflections can still reveal where a photo was taken.
No. Metadata reading and image re-encoding happen locally in your browser. The selected photo is not sent to ImgTweak or another processing server.
The tool accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF and AVIF by MIME type or extension. Removal still depends on the current browser being able to decode the image.
No. This interface processes one image at a time. Download the result, choose New image, and repeat for the next photo.
Choose one photo above, review the detected coordinates, and download a newly encoded clean copy.
