Image Privacy Tools
Photos carry information you never chose to share. Inspect exactly what is embedded in a file, then strip it — with the whole process running on your own device, which is rather the point.
Images are processed on your device and never uploaded.
See it, then remove it
- Metadata Viewer — every EXIF, XMP and IPTC field the file contains, with GPS coordinates flagged separately.
- Remove EXIF — strips it all, losslessly where possible, and bakes in the orientation first so your photo does not come out sideways.
What a photo can give away
A typical phone photo records the coordinates of where it was taken to within a few metres, the exact second of capture, and the camera's serial number — which links it to every other photo from the same device. Posting a picture from home can publish your address without you realising.
Do not rely on the platform
Some social networks strip metadata on upload and some do not; behaviour differs between their apps and their websites, and between an image post and a file attachment. Email and messaging apps in file mode generally pass the original straight through. Strip it yourself.
Why local processing matters most here
Uploading a photo to a server in order to remove its GPS coordinates would be a strange trade. Nothing on this page transmits your image anywhere — open your network panel and check.
