Remove GPS location from your photos

See the exact coordinates baked into a photo, then wipe them — locally, before you ever share the file.

EXIF · inspect & strip

Your photos quietly record where you were

When a phone or GPS-enabled camera takes a picture, it writes your latitude and longitude into the file's EXIF metadata — often accurate to a few metres. That data travels with the photo. Post it, message it, or email it and anyone who opens the file can read the exact spot it was taken: your home, your child's school, the hotel you're staying at tonight. Most people never see it because gallery apps hide it, but it's right there in the bytes.

Strip the coordinates before you share

Drop a photo above and Pixadel reads its GPS tag and shows you the coordinates. Remove it and the location is gone — for a JPG or TIFF the image itself is untouched, only the location is deleted. For a RAW file the GPS block is zeroed in place, so you keep the original RAW (and its full image quality) with just the location removed. Either way the result is a file that no longer says where you were.

Done in your browser — nothing is uploaded

This is the part that matters for a privacy tool: your photo never leaves your device. There's no server, no account, no "trust us with your location" step. The GPS is read and removed by code running in your own browser, so checking and cleaning a sensitive photo doesn't expose it to anyone — including us. Process one photo or drop a whole folder and strip them all at once into a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Will removing GPS change how my photo looks?
No. The location lives in the metadata, separate from the image. For JPG and TIFF the pixels are byte-for-byte identical after stripping; for RAW the sensor data is untouched and only the GPS coordinates are wiped.
Can I keep my RAW file and just remove the location?
Yes. For CR2/CR3/NEF/ARW/DNG, Pixadel removes only the GPS in place and keeps the original RAW format and full quality. (The camera serial is also masked; a copy may remain in the vendor MakerNote — export to JPG if you need every trace gone.)
Is my photo uploaded to check or remove the GPS?
Never. Reading the coordinates and removing them both happen locally in your browser. Your file is not sent anywhere.
How do I know the GPS is actually gone?
After stripping, open the cleaned file again here — the GPS row will read "none found". You can verify the same way in any EXIF viewer.
