How it works

Location data can be more precise than a caption

A photo may reveal a home, school, workplace or travel location even when nothing in the visible image identifies the place.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can a photo contain my location?

Phones and cameras may save latitude and longitude in the GPS section of EXIF metadata when location tagging is enabled.

Does this tool show the exact coordinates?

Yes, when GPS metadata is present. Coordinates are displayed to six decimal places and can optionally be opened in OpenStreetMap.

Does the clean copy keep other metadata?

For maximum privacy, this tool removes GPS together with other common hidden metadata rather than preserving selected fields.

How do I stop future photos from saving location?

Review the camera app location permission in your phone settings. The exact steps depend on the device and operating system version.
