Remove GPS Location from Photos
Clear embedded location details before sharing
Upload a photo to check for embedded location information. Remove supported GPS and location fields across the metadata groups the tool can process, then review the result before downloading. This changes embedded location data; places visible in the picture remain visible.

How to remove stored location information
Choose a photo and inspect the location values found in its report. Explicitly select GPS and location removal, review the proposed scope and apply it. Check the verified output report before downloading or sharing the new copy.
Location representations included
The location removal mode covers known EXIF GPS, XMP GPS, GPS timestamps and supported descriptive place names. JPEG IPTC location values are included where present. Maker notes and embedded previews are also cleared because they can contain location details.
Location removal by format
JPEG, PNG and static WebP can be processed. The metadata groups present vary by file. If the engine cannot complete and verify the requested removal, it reports a failure instead of claiming that all location information has gone.
Example: prepare a home photo for sharing
Inspect a photo for coordinates, sublocation, city and region values. Choose GPS and location removal and review the resulting report. A street sign, address or landmark visible in the image remains visible after embedded fields are cleared.
Processing, privacy and deletion
Originals, previews, reports and edited copies are stored privately on the ImageWing server, outside public media storage. Every private endpoint checks account or browser-session ownership. Preview derivatives contain no embedded metadata.
Uploads expire 60 minutes after upload. Downloads do not extend retention. Expired files become inaccessible immediately; the server cleanup command removes expired temporary files. Delete my files cancels active work; files in use are removed when processing stops or by cleanup. Presets are stored locally in your browser and exclude sensitive values unless you explicitly include them.
Frequently asked questions
Does GPS removal remove a city name as well?
The GPS and location mode removes supported descriptive location fields as well as known coordinate and timestamp representations. The proposal explains the removal scope before processing.
Does this hide every clue about a location?
No. Visible places remain in the image, and the tool does not inspect external copies, online accounts or unsupported metadata structures. It verifies the removal it can process.
Are creator and rights fields retained?
The location removal mode retains creator and copyright fields. Use a different explicit removal choice if you also intend to clear those details.
