How to remove GPS location and EXIF data from photos before you share them

Why it matters

A photo taken on a phone can store where it was taken, down to the street, together with the device model, the date and the time. Some sites strip this on upload, but files sent by email, shared through cloud links, sold on marketplaces or delivered to clients keep it.

Strip it in three steps

1. Open PureImage.
2. Drop the photos on the page. JPG, PNG and WebP work, several at once.
3. Download the clean copies, as single files or one ZIP, and share those instead of the originals.

Everything runs in your browser on your own device. The photos are not uploaded anywhere.

What is removed

EXIF, XMP and IPTC fields, including GPS position, camera and software details, dates, and author and copyright fields, plus C2PA Content Credentials if the image has them.

Good to know

• Keep your originals: the clean copy has no capture date or location for your own photo library.
• JPEG and WebP files are re-encoded when the metadata is stripped, and the colour profile is not kept.
• iPhone HEIC photos are not supported. Export them as JPG first.
