Removing GPS and camera data from your photos

What you upload

You upload JPG or PNG photos, up to 50 images per job. The tool lists the metadata it finds in each file. That includes EXIF data with GPS location, XMP and IPTC. It then writes a clean copy in the same format. If a file is too large or in another format, you are told before anything is processed. Your originals are not changed.

What you get and how to check it

You get the cleaned images, plus metadata-readback.csv and a JSON copy. They list what was in each file before and after cleaning. The image size in pixels is read back from each output. A fingerprint of each source and output file is recorded, so you can match them later. If a known removable block is still present after cleaning, the job fails instead of giving you the file.

The colour profile and the limits

One checkbox lets you keep the colour profile so colours look the same. The rest of the removable data is still dropped. Leave it off if you want the profile gone too. Each image is saved again, so the pixels pass through a fresh encode. The tool can only promise removal of the blocks it recognises. Image files can hide data in odd places, and the report says so.

Questions before you run it

Does it remove GPS coordinates from a JPEG?

GPS sits inside the EXIF block, which is one of the recognised blocks the rewrite drops. The readback then re-reads the output file and lists what is still present.

What does the Keep color profile option do?

It preserves the ICC profile so colours stay as intended, while the other removable blocks are still dropped. Leave it off when you want the ICC data gone as well.

Will cleaning re-compress my photo?

The image is decoded and written back in the same format, so the pixels pass through a fresh encode. Decoded dimensions are read back from the output and recorded.

How do I know nothing private survived the rewrite?

Metadata is inventoried before and after and written to metadata-readback.csv and its JSON copy. If a recognised removable block is still present afterwards, the job fails instead of handing you the file.

Can it promise that every trace of metadata is gone?

No. Image containers allow bytes in places no inventory can name with certainty, so the claim is limited to recognised removable blocks. That limit is stated in the report rather than glossed over.
