Permanently remove embedded GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, capture dates, and EXIF/IPTC/XMP chunks from your photos. 100% private client-side processing with one-click batch ZIP download.
Inspect the exact camera metadata and view location on an interactive map before scrubbing.
Open Location Finder →Whenever you capture a photograph using an iPhone, Android smartphone, or digital camera, the device automatically creates an invisible data record attached to the image file called EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format). This record includes your precise GPS latitude and longitude, the exact date and timestamp, your device's unique serial identifier, and even the software version used to edit the image.
Sharing photos containing raw EXIF tags online poses severe privacy and physical safety risks. An unscrubbed photo posted on Craigslist, an eBay listing, a real estate forum, or a personal blog can pinpoint your home address, workplace, or daily commute to anyone who downloads the file. Our Batch Photo GPS & Metadata Scrubber provides a fast, 100% private solution that runs entirely in your browser without uploading your photos to remote servers.
Traditional online metadata scrubbers require uploading your files to a cloud server, where automated scripts process and store your pictures before serving a download link. This model violates user privacy and introduces data breach risks.
ToolGenerators uses the HTML5 Canvas Bitstream Re-encoding standard:

If you need to remove location tags manually on your own operating systems, follow these native methods:
Cmd + I, click the GPS tab, and click "Remove Location Info".
