How to Erase Secret Location Tracking from Your Photos

Protect your privacy by instantly removing hidden GPS and camera data from your pictures.

When you take a beautiful picture with your phone, the phone secretly hides a bunch of information inside the picture file. It saves the exact time, the type of phone you have, and even the exact GPS location of where you were standing.

This hidden info is called metadata. If you post that picture online, anyone can download it and find out exactly where you live or where you hang out. That is very scary!

You should always scrub this secret data away before sharing pictures with strangers. You can do this easily with our free Metadata Remover tool.

Just upload your picture, and the tool will instantly wash away all the secret tracking data. Your picture will look exactly the same, but now your privacy is completely safe!
