Remove GPS location metadata from photos in your browser

GPS metadata can reveal where a photo was taken. This workflow is for privacy cleanup before publishing, sharing or sending images to a marketplace or client.

Good fits

1
Remove location from phone photos before sharing.
2
Clean product photos shot at home or in a warehouse.
3
Prepare public images without exposing camera location data.

Workflow

1
Open Metadata and upload the image.
2
Review detected GPS/location fields.
3
Select GPS/location for removal.
4
Export and keep the original private.

Limits to check

1
Metadata availability depends on the source file and format.
2
Visual content can still reveal location even after metadata cleanup.
3
Format conversion or visual edits may re-encode pixels; metadata-only cleanup uses lossless paths where supported.

FAQ

Does removing GPS change the image pixels?

For JPEG, PNG and WebP metadata-only cleanup uses a lossless binary path where supported.

Can I choose only GPS?

Yes. Metadata mode exposes categories such as GPS, dates, camera and author fields.

Practical QA notes

Privacy checks after GPS removal

1
Confirm GPS/location is no longer detected.
2
Check dates or camera fields if privacy requires broader cleanup.
3
Remember that street signs or backgrounds can still reveal location.
4
Use the result manifest for agent-side verification.

GPS cleanup is a privacy check, not a visual edit

Removing GPS metadata should not change how the photo looks. In metadata-only runs, QuokkaPix focuses on detected location fields and related metadata groups before export. The right review is therefore different from crop or compression: check what was found, choose whether location data should be removed, then confirm that the output no longer exposes those fields. For supported JPEG, PNG and WebP metadata-only cleanup, the binary path avoids re-encoding pixels where possible.

1
Inspect detected location fields before export.
2
Remove GPS before sharing home, client or field photos publicly.
3
Do not treat metadata cleanup as a visual anonymization tool.
