GPS-Only EXIF Stripper — Protect Your Location
Zero-Trust Utilities
What is GPS-Only EXIF Stripper — Protect Your Location?
GPS-Only EXIF Stripper is a precision metadata editor. Most 'EXIF removers' are all-or-nothing, stripping out your camera model, lens settings, and copyright info along with the location. This tool specifically targets GPS coordinates, allowing you to share your photography safely while preserving the technical data that matters to you and other photographers. It's built for privacy-conscious users who want to prevent 'doxing' through photo metadata.
How it works
The tool uses a lightweight JavaScript EXIF parser to locate the GPS directory within the image's metadata blob. It then surgicaly removes those specific bytes or nullifies the values while leaving the rest of the metadata header intact. The resulting image is then provided as a local download.
Features & Benefits
- Remove ONLY location data — keep your valuable camera settings (EXIF)
- Batch processing: clean dozens of photos in one click
- Processes 100% in your browser — your photos are never uploaded to a server
- Mobile-friendly: quickly clean photos before sharing on social media
