Remove photo location data: common questions
Does this reduce the quality of my photo?
JPG and PNG files keep every pixel: the hidden data is cut out and the picture isn't touched. A JPG's rotation tag is kept so it stays upright. Other formats, including WebP, are redrawn and re-saved at high quality, and the tool marks those as redrawn.
Do social networks remove this data anyway?
Some platforms appear to remove it from the copy other people download, but this varies, can change, and doesn't tell you what the platform itself keeps. Files sent by email, by chat as documents, or through file-sharing links often keep everything.
What about motion photos?
Motion photos from some Android phones carry a short video after the picture. For JPGs, this tool removes anything after the end of the image, so the clean copy is a still photo with no video or sound.
Can it remove a location that's visible in the picture?
No. This removes data stored in the file. A street sign in the background is still there.
