Remove EXIF & GPS From JPG Photos — Free, In-Browser

Strip GPS coordinates, camera serials, timestamps, and all EXIF tags from JPG/JPEG photos in seconds.

Why scrub EXIF from JPGs?

JPGs you take with a phone or camera are stamped with location, device serial, lens, owner name, and exact time of capture. Posting them online — even resized — can give away your home address, workplace, or daily routine. SafeRestore removes every EXIF tag locally in your browser.

Common use cases

Frequently asked questions

Will the photo lose quality?

No. We only edit the EXIF segment of the JPG container — the actual image data is untouched and re-encoded losslessly.

What about GPS in iPhone photos?

iPhone JPGs include precise lat/long, altitude, and direction. We remove all GPS sub-tags so the location can't be recovered.

Can social networks still see my location?

Many social networks strip EXIF on upload, but not all. Scrubbing first guarantees no leakage even via direct downloads, DMs, or screenshots.

Does it remove ICC color profiles?

No — color profiles are kept so the photo renders correctly across devices. Only personally-identifying metadata is removed.
