Phone photos store invisible data: where the photo was taken, when, and with what device. Upload your photos, check what information they contain and download a clean copy that looks identical and has no metadata.
Tap the box or drop in one or more images. They don't leave your device.
Next to each photo you'll see whether it includes a GPS location, a date and a camera or phone model.
Download the version without metadata and share that one instead of the original.
Every photo includes a block of data called EXIF that the camera writes automatically: date and time, device make and model, shot settings and, if location is turned on, the exact GPS coordinates of the place. Anyone who receives the original file can read it in a couple of taps and see on a map where the photo was taken, your home for example.
WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and X strip the metadata when you post a photo the normal way. But it's kept when you send the image by email, as a file or document in messaging apps, through cloud links, or when you upload it to classified ad sites, forums and blogs. In those cases it's worth cleaning it first.
Upload the photo to this tool and download the clean copy. The new image looks the same but no longer contains GPS coordinates or any other metadata.
When you open it here, the tool reads the file and shows you whether it contains a GPS location, with its coordinates, along with the date and the device model.
Yes when you send the photo the normal way, because WhatsApp recompresses it. If you send it as a document to preserve quality, the original file goes out with all its metadata.
Hardly at all. The image is saved again at very high quality and the difference isn't visible to the naked eye.
All embedded metadata: EXIF (camera, date, settings), GPS location, embedded thumbnails, and IPTC and XMP data such as the author or editing software.
No. Both reading the metadata and cleaning it happen in your browser. It would make no sense to protect your privacy by sending the photo somewhere else.
