Strip photo location metadata so shared images do not reveal where they were taken.
GPS EXIF tags are a common accidental doxxing vector when posting vacation photos, home photos, or images from a workplace. One uploaded photo can reveal a precise address.
Remove GPS from Photos exists to delete location tags from a photo so the file does not carry where it was taken. It is not a second copy of the tool homepage. The homepage introduces the whole product. This page stays on one job so a search for that job lands on instructions you can follow without hunting through other tabs. Read the result on this page against the input you actually used. A screenshot without the input is not evidence. If the result surprises you, change one thing and run it again before you change your VPN, browser, or server config.
Work through Remove GPS from Photos in order. 1. Confirm the report shows a GPS coordinate before you export. 2. Export. 3. Drop the export and confirm latitude and longitude are absent. 4. Send the export, not the camera-roll original. Write down the input and the output together. When you ask someone for help, send both. Repeat the same input once. A stable tool returns the same answer. If it does not, the input changed or the page is talking to a different network path than you think.
A landmark in the picture is still a landmark. The phone keeps the original. Cloud photo libraries may upload the original with GPS while you send the copy. Treat the output as a measurement, then decide. RookVPN does not log the contents of a client-side tool, and a measurement is not a promise that every other app on the device behaves the same way. Compare a second path when the decision matters: a terminal command, another browser, or the matching guide linked below.
Example: latitude and longitude are present, you export, and the second read has no GPS block. You attach the export to a message. If the messaging app re-compresses the image it might also drop tags, but you do not rely on that. You already removed them.
After you finish Remove GPS from Photos, open the EXIF page if you also need the camera model gone if the next question is different from the one this page answers. Stay here if you are still on the same job. Extra pages help only when they answer a new question, such as a different algorithm, a different leak channel, or a different file type. The documentation link on this page is the long form of the same workflow, including the checks that do not fit in the tool UI.
Some platforms strip EXIF on upload, but the original file may still be transmitted in full before compression is applied. Scrub photos before uploading to be safe.
WhatsApp strips EXIF when you send a photo through the camera roll. However, sending the original file as a document preserves all metadata. Scrub first if sending as a document.
Instagram strips GPS EXIF from uploaded photos, but the original uncompressed version you send still contains the location data during transmission. Scrub before sharing.
No. It lives in tags. The picture can still show a place.
The file has no location tag. You are done with this particular job.
Do them one file at a time and re-read each export.
