What gets removed

GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude), camera serial numbers, timestamps, software information, and all other EXIF metadata. The image itself stays untouched — same resolution, same quality, just without the hidden data. Read more about why and how to remove GPS.

Why it matters

Photos shared via email, cloud storage, forums, and some messaging apps keep all metadata intact. Anyone who downloads your image can see exactly where it was taken. Not all social media platforms strip this data — better to remove it yourself.

Complete Removal

Strips all EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata from the file.

Quality Preserved

Image pixels are untouched. No recompression, no quality loss.

Auto-Deleted

Files are deleted from the server within 1 hour. No data retained.

Why remove location data?

Every photo taken with GPS enabled embeds exact latitude and longitude coordinates. Sharing these images on forums, marketplaces, or dating apps can expose your home address, workplace, and daily routine. Stripping GPS metadata eliminates this risk before the file leaves your device.

How it works

Upload a JPG, HEIC, or TIFF photo and Scanly strips all GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, timestamps, and other metadata. The cleaned file downloads directly to your device — no server storage. For a pre-sharing safety check, use the Privacy Score tool first.
