Found a location? Remove it in one step
A clean copy without the location and camera details is made automatically as soon as you drop the photo. Download it from the list above and share that copy instead. For JPG, PNG and WebP the image itself isn’t re-compressed, so there’s no quality loss. More about this on the location remover page.
Why it’s worth checking
A photo taken at home and shared with its location intact can point a stranger to your door. It matters most for photos you send directly, such as listing photos for marketplaces, pictures sent by email, or files shared through cloud links. Read how to keep your address out of listing photos.
Questions
How accurate is the location in a photo?
Phone GPS is usually accurate to a few meters outdoors, which is enough to identify a building. Indoors it can be less precise, but it often still points to the right street.
Can a screenshot contain my location?
Screenshots normally don’t include GPS coordinates, but they can include the date and device. Drop one in to check.
Do photos I received in a chat app have location?
It depends on how they were sent. Photos sent as regular images in many chat apps are compressed and lose their metadata, while photos sent as files or documents usually keep everything.
Is my photo uploaded to check it?
No. The photo is read inside your browser and never leaves your device.
