Remove EXIF Data Before Sharing

Your photos reveal your location, camera, and habits. Strip EXIF data before sharing online — zero upload.

No signup. Photos processed in your browser — nothing uploaded.

Every photo you take embeds invisible metadata called EXIF data: GPS coordinates, timestamps, and device information. When you share photos on forums, marketplaces, or via email, this metadata goes with them. fileGOD strips all EXIF data from your photos in your browser before you share — no upload, no server, no trace. A recent analysis of photos posted on classified ad platforms found that over 75% contained extractable GPS coordinates accurate to within 10 meters. Sellers listing items from home unwittingly broadcast their exact address to every potential buyer. EXIF data also reveals device serial numbers, which can be used to link photos across platforms and build a profile of your activity. Stripping this data takes seconds with fileGOD and should be a standard step before sharing any photo online.

Why Privacy Matters

GPS Location Removal

Photos taken at home reveal your address. Strip GPS coordinates before posting anywhere online.

Timestamp Stripping

EXIF timestamps show exact date and time. Remove them to prevent tracking your schedule.

Device Information Removal

Camera serial numbers, phone model, and lens type can link photos back to you. Strip it all.

Batch Processing

Clean up to 20 photos at once before sharing on Craigslist, eBay, forums, or social platforms.

Zero Quality Loss

Only metadata headers are removed. Image pixels remain untouched — no recompression.

100% Browser-Based

Your photos are processed locally. No file is uploaded. A privacy tool that respects your privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EXIF data and why should I remove it?

EXIF is metadata embedded in photos: GPS location, timestamps, device model, and camera settings. Removing it prevents others from knowing where and when you took the photo.

Which platforms strip EXIF data automatically?

Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter strip EXIF on upload. Email, forums, Craigslist, eBay, Discord, and Slack do not.

Can someone find my home address from a photo?

Yes. If you took the photo at home with GPS enabled, the embedded coordinates pinpoint your address to within a few meters.

Does removing EXIF data change the photo?

No. EXIF removal only strips the metadata header. The actual image pixels, colors, and resolution remain unchanged.

Should I remove EXIF data before selling items online?

Yes. Product photos taken at home contain GPS coordinates revealing your address to buyers.
