EXIF Viewer: Remove Location

See the date, device and location stored inside a photo, and make a copy without the location before you share it. Your original photo is never changed or deleted. ■ What you can see - Whether the photo contains a location, shown first and in plain words. - The coordinates, if there are any. You can pass them to a map app when you choose to. - When it was taken, which device and lens took it, and its size. - A full list of the details that could be read, with search. Press and hold a value to copy it. ■ Remove the location - For JPEG photos, only the location is removed. The picture is not compressed again, so the image quality stays the same, and the date and device details stay too. - After removing, the copy is read again to check that the standard location fields are gone. If that check does not pass, nothing is saved or shared. - Share the copy right away, or save it to Pictures/ExifViewer. - The result tells you what was removed. If a part of the file could not be checked, such as maker notes, it says so and suggests a clean copy. - Remove the location from MP4, MOV and 3GP videos too. Picture and sound stay as they are, and the copy is saved to Movies. ■ Make a clean copy - A clean copy keeps only the picture. All photo details are left out. - This is how HEIC, PNG, WebP and other formats are handled, and you can choose it for JPEG photos as well. - For JPEG, HEIC and WebP the picture is saved again as JPEG, so quality may drop slightly. PNG stays PNG. - HDR and the moving part of a motion photo are not kept in a clean copy. ■ Several photos at once - Choose up to 50 photos, or send them from your gallery with Share. - The list shows which photos contain a location before you start. ■ How your photos are handled - Only the photos you choose are read. The app never reads your whole gallery. - To show a location that Android hides, the app asks once for your approval. You can remove location without it. - Photos are read and processed on your device. Photos and their details, including coordinates, are not uploaded. - The app keeps no history of the photos you opened. ■ Formats - View details: JPEG, HEIC/HEIF, PNG, WebP, AVIF, DNG/TIFF. What can be shown depends on the file and on your device. - Remove location without re-saving the picture: JPEG. - Clean copy: any photo your device can display. ■ Good to know - Things visible in the picture itself, such as signs, landmarks or watermarks, stay in the picture. - "Remove location" clears the standard location fields. It does not open maker notes. If that matters to you, make a clean copy. - A few JPEG files store their details in a way that cannot be changed in place. For those, the app offers a clean copy. - Copies you already posted elsewhere are not changed. - The app does not edit photo details, such as changing the date or adding a location. - Videos that record a location track while filming, and fragmented MP4 files, can't be fully cleaned, so no copy is made.
